Loss and consequent grief permeates nearly every life changing
event, from death to health concerns to dislocation to relationship
breakdown to betrayal to natural disaster to faith issues. Yet,
while we know about particular events of loss independently, we
know very little about a psychology of loss that draws many
adversities together. This universal experience of loss as a
concept in its own right sheds light on so much of the work we do
in the care of others. This book develops a new overarching
framework to understand loss and grief, taking into account both
pathological and wellbeing approaches to the subject. Drawing on
international and cross-disciplinary research, Judith Murray
highlights nine common themes of loss, helping us to understand how
it is experienced. These themes are then used to develop a practice
framework for structuring assessment and intervention
systematically. Throughout the book, this generic approach is
highlighted through discussing its use in different loss events
such as bereavement, trauma, chronic illness and with children or
older people. Having been used in areas as diverse as child
protection, palliative care and refugee care, the framework can be
tailored to a range of needs and levels of care. Caring for people
experiencing loss is an integral part of the work of helping
professions, whether it is explicitly part of their work such as in
counselling, or implicit as in social work, nursing, teaching,
medicine and community work. This text is an important guide for
anyone working in these areas.
