Death rituals are a universal feature of every human culture across the world. Every human must eventually face the stark reality of death, and many cultures and religions have sought to make sense of death and bring solace to the people through bereavement rituals. Infant death has been commonplace in most of human history. Despite the high prevalence of pregnancy loss (25% of all pregnancies) and infant death (0.6% of liveborn infants), these deaths are rarely discussed openly. The parents’ grief often is underestimated or ignored by their social network who may never have met the baby and/or feel uncomfortable discussing the loss of a child. On the other hand, the families enduring perinatal loss experience profound grief, loss of the actual and imagined future for that child, and the baby is never forgotten. Thus, parents seek to have their baby remembered through the creation of keepsakes, memories, and rituals. Having a supportive environment that honors their loss and their child’s memory and helps to facilitate meaningful rituals can have a profound effect on their long-term bereavement.


死亡仪式是世界上每一种人类文化共有的特征。每个人最终都会面对死亡的严峻现实,许多文化和宗教试图通过哀悼仪式来解释死亡并给予人们慰藉。在大多数人类历史中,婴儿死亡都是常见的现象。尽管妊娠丢失(所有怀孕中的25%)和婴儿死亡(活产婴儿的0.6%)的发生率都很高,但这些死亡很少被公开讨论。父母的悲痛往往被他们的社交网络低估或忽视,这些人可能从未见过这个婴儿,或者感到谈论失去孩子的痛苦。另一方面,忍受围产期丧失的家庭经历了深刻的情感损失,以及那个孩子实际和想象中的未来消失。因此,父母希望通过创造纪念品、记忆和仪式来让自己的婴儿被记住。为他们提供一个支持的环境,尊重他们的损失和孩子的记忆,并帮助他们促进有意义的仪式,对他们长期的哀悼都有深远的影响。
