Grief is a universal human response to death and loss. Mourning is
an equally universally observable practice that enables the
bereaved to express their grief and come to terms with the reality
of loss. Yet, despite their prevalence, there is no unified
understanding of the nature and meaning of grief and mourning. The
Meaning of Mourning: Perspectives on Death, Loss, and Grief brings
together fifteen essays from diverse disciplines addressing the
topics of death, grief, and mourning. The collection moves from
general questions concerning the putative badness of death and the
meaning of loss through the phenomenology and psychology of grief,
to personal and cultural aspects of mourning. Contributors examine
topics such as theodicy and grief, reproductive loss, mourning as a
form of recognition of value, the roots of grief in early
childhood, grief in COVID-times, hope, phenomenology of loss,
public commemoration and mourning rituals, mourning for a
devastated culture, the Necropolis of Glasgow, and the "art of
outliving." Edited by Mikolaj Slawkowski-Rode, the volume provides
a survey of the rich topography of methodologies, problems,
approaches, and disciplines that are involved in the study of
issues surrounding loss and our responses to it and guides the
reader through a spectrum of perspectives, highlighting the
connections and discontinuities between them.
