This article describes an infertile woman who successfully conceived after undergoing multiple artificial reproductive procedures. However, in the ninth week of pregnancy, an ultrasound examination was conducted and found no fetal heartbeat. Due to fetal demise, the woman was recommended to undergo termination of the pregnancy which resulted in a feeling of immense loss and sadness. From January 10^(th), 2020, to February 3^(rd), the author collected the data through direct care, observation, and physical assessment of the patient as well as follow-up telephone interviews. The author used the Gordon 11 Function Health Patterns for nursing assessment. The health problems of this case included: sleep pattern disturbance, anxiety and grief. During this period, the author offered individualized care by showing empathy and compassion, offering companionship, and understanding and listening to the patient's needs and feelings. In addition, religious and spiritual comfort were provided. The author assisted the patient in facing the loss of the fetus and helped her adapt to the current situation and plan her future life, as well as accompanied her through the process of pregnancy termination. It is suggested that medical professionals participate in relevant grief counseling skills workshops and refer the case to a psychological counseling in a timely manner to support patients with the grieving process. With the right training and experience, the nursing care of women whom encounter fetal demise and pregnancy termination will become more comprehensive and effective.
