First published in 1974, then reissued in 1986 with a long
introduction by the author, which developed the analysis in the
light of recent theory and related it to work done in the field
since its first publication. The late Peter Marris shows how
understanding grief can help us to understand processes of change,
both personal and social, and to handle them with more compassion
for ourselves and others. He sees grieving as the working out of a
psychological reintegration, whose principles are essentially
similar whether the 'structures of meaning' of our life fall apart
from the loss of a personal relationship, of a predictable social
context or of an interpretable world. Marris draws on his
wide-ranging research to develop his argument. A study of widows, a
description of the devastating effects of urban renewal projects on
people whose familiar neighbourhoods are destroyed, an analysis of
the activities of tribal associations in Nigeria, and reflections
on the analogies between scientific and political revolutions are a
few of the studies Marris weaves together in tracing the meaning of
change and loss in human life.
