Bereavement is often treated as a psychological condition of the
individual with both healthy and pathological forms. However, this
empirically-grounded study argues that this is not always the best
or only way to help the bereaved. In a radical departure, it
emphasises normality and social and cultural diversity in grieving.
Exploring the significance of the dying person's final moments for
those who are left behind, this book sheds new light on the variety
of ways in which bereaved people maintain their relationship with
dead loved ones and how the dead retain a significant social
presence in the lives of the living. It draws practical conclusions
for professionals in relation to the complex and social nature of
grief and the value placed on the right to grieve in one's own way
- supporting and encouraging the bereaved person to articulate
their own experience and find their own methods of coping. Based on
new empirical research, Bereavement Narratives is an innovative and
invaluable read for all students and researchers of death, dying
and bereavement.
