Grieving Pregnancy compares contemporary American Catholic and Japanese Buddhist memorial practices focused on miscarriage, stillbirth, and abortion. Maureen L. Walsh demonstrates that while the memorial practices confront the same basic problem—that is, pregnancy loss—they conceive of the problem in different terms, and as a result, propose distinct responses to it.


In Grieving Pregnancy: Memorializing Loss in Japanese Buddhism and American Catholicism, Maureen L. Walsh compares how the two religious traditions respond ritually and discursively to miscarriage, stillbirth, and abortion experiences marked by grief for the women involved. The experience of pregnancy loss has always been a part of women’s lives, yet only recently has it garnered attention from religious leaders and scholars commensurate with its prevalence. This book examines pregnancy loss as a theological problem for both Buddhism and Catholicism and analyzes the rites and memorials that have developed to address it, such as Japanese Buddhist mizuko kuyo (water children rites) and emergent American Catholic memorial practices focused on pregnancy loss. These parallel practices have emerged within distinct religious landscapes—a fact reflected in their forms and purposes—and when considered together, they raise questions of keen interest to theological and religious studies about the goals of religious practice and the imagination of human life at its earliest stages.
 

Recenzijos

"This book explores rituals, beliefs, and practices surrounding pregnancy loss in Japanese Buddhist culture and in the author's own American Catholic tradition. Maureen Walsh offers us a rich treasure trove of insights and reflections on doctrinal, psychological, sociological, and spiritual dimensions of this all but too human experience." - Ruben L. F. Habito (author of Healing Breath: Zen for Christians and Buddhists in a Wounded World) "Walsh provides a thoughtful, nuanced analysis of a variety of pregnancy loss experiences and the ways in which they are memorialized in the context of Japanese Buddhism and American Catholicism. She does not avoid the political complexities present in the contemporary U.S. context around these issues and intentionally highlights multiple voices and perspectives with sensitivity and respect. This is a significant theological examination of evolving rituals that provide critical meaning-making, especially for women." - The Rev. Dr. Kristin Johnston Largin (president of Wartburg Theological Seminary, Dubuque, Iowa)
