Abstract

Grief is typically treated as a psychosocial phenomenon, but it is a significant spiritual condition as well insofar as relationships with God, self, and others are impaired. However, there is little in the literature that acknowledges grief as spiritual in nature and it is notable how seldom parents engage, or are engaged by, faith communities as they grapple with their faith concerns. From interviews of eight bereaved mothers of a perinatal loss, three key spiritual concerns are identified and discussed: faith crisis, isolation, and forgetting. This study hopes to better resource clergy and faith communities as they provide for the spiritual needs of bereaved parents.
