This book explores theologically the practice of hospital chaplains
seeking to meet the spiritual needs of parents bereaved by baby
death in-utero. The lived experience of bereaved parents, gathered
through a series of in-depth interviews, informs such an
exploration. Parents describe the trauma of late miscarriage and
stillbirth as still being shrouded by silence, myth and
misunderstanding in contemporary society. Up-to-date theoretical
understandings of grief are also re-examined in light of parents'
stories of living with baby death. This book offers suggestions as
to how the actual spiritual needs of parents may be met and their
grief sensitively facilitated through the sharing of rituals
co-constructed by parents and chaplain which seek to have
theological integrity yet be relevant in our postomodern age. In
our prevalent culture of caring, where increasingly ongoing
professional and personal development are regarded as normative,
recommendations are made which may aid reflection on current, or
shape future, practice for chaplains, pastors, students and various
healthcare professionals.
