How can such profound grief emerge from a relationship that was never fully embodied through touch? Why does one mourn a child who was scarcely held—or never held at all? This presentation explores the paradox of miscarriage and stillbirth grief through Christian and Latter-day Saint understandings of embodiment, touch, and divine identity. While “skin-to-skin” time and “face-to-face” interactions are often deemed the beginnings of human attachment, the mourning of miscarried and stillborn babies suggests that intimate relationships precede physical contact. These children are known, loved, anticipated, and woven into the fabric of family long before they are cradled in parental arms. Drawing upon scripture, early Christian writings, Latter-day Saint theology, and accounts of mourning parents, we argue that the grief we experience at the loss of these innocent, unborn children reveals a significant truth: truly, we can be touched by those who are the untouching.
