Remember Me brings together contributors from around the world with
unique insight on the ways in which one's relationship with loved
ones continues, endures, and perhaps even grows after death.
Much of the available literature speaks of healthy bereavement
as letting go of the deceased and moving forward with life. This
new text challenges that notion, discussing the meaning attributed
to death and to the anticipation of death.
The living, as presented in these innovative chapters, construct
social entities of those who have died, via the carrying out of
wishes in the Will; pursuing legal claims; or simply attributing
certain desires, emotions, or choices to the deceased reconstitutes
them as active, even vital, voices even after biological death.
Just as life itself, the end of life and death is an
interdisciplinary matter. A clear psychological theme and focus
ties together these perspectives under three conceptual areas: the
anticipation of death; the social life of the deceased and the
legal embodiment of the deceased.
