In the poem ‘Refugee Mother and Child’ by Chinua Achebe, the refugee mother would soon have to forget her child.

The poem describes a heartbreaking scene of a mother in a refugee camp tenderly caring for her dying child. While many other mothers have already abandoned or lost their children due to extreme conditions, this mother still clings to her love and care for her child, even though.

"Soon she would have to forget her child."

This line suggests the imminent death of the child, after which the mother would be forced emotionally or by circumstance, to let go of the memory, even though it is deeply painful.

So, the answer is, Her child.
