The Use of Ritual for Perinatal Loss in Spain: From Silence to Ceremony - Social Science Perspectives on Childbirth and Reproduction
Lynne McIntyre
This book is an ethnographic study of perinatal loss ritual in Spain that investigates how people have used ritual to confront the loss of a pregnancy or death of a newborn, and what it costs them when they cannot. The book argues that ritual is fundamental to the social recognition of perinatal loss and to the personhood of the lost child.
