Abstract

Pregnancy loss is an under-researched and underacknowledged issue that affects many women. Furthermore, there is a lack of specialized support services. Given the unique needs of bereaved mothers and noted relevant benefits of therapeutic songwriting, the purpose of this philosophical inquiry was to organize and synthesize current knowledge and build a case as to why therapeutic songwriting within an individual music therapy context holds strong potential as a mode of support for these women. A first-person arts-informed research component was also employed, wherein relevant audio and lyrical excerpts from songs previously composed by the researcher about her own pregnancy losses were used to support and further elucidate knowledge that emerged from the literature. Connections were made between key components of an experience-oriented songwriting approach and the identified needs of bereaved mothers. Flexible guidelines for applying this approach were subsequently created and these may serve as a helpful starting point for music therapists wanting to offer services to this population. Limitations of the study as well as further implications for practice and research are presented.
