Grief and loss are fundamental aspects of the human experience.
This book explores the desire to make sense out of the nonsensical
by exploring specific loss and grief experiences. The
autoethnographic essays reflect on the unique and individual
experiences of each contributor’s story. Simultaneously, these
experiences reveal that although their grief experience is unique,
it is also cultural and collective, evoking broader cultural themes
related to loss and grief. The chapters in this book represent a
wide range of loss experiences ranging from the loss of a parent,
child, or partner, loss within larger family systems, ambiguous and
anticipatory loss to broader cultural aspects of grief. Scholars of
communication, sociology, and family studies will find this book of
particular interest.
This book gives readers an understanding of the theoretical
foundations of social support communication along with practical
tools to ethically and justly connect with and support others in
daily life. Incorporating research, real-world examples, and
autoethnographic methods, this book examines how social
hierarchies, personal power dynamics, and relational and social
histories can be better understood to create stronger social
support messages across all our relationships, including family,
friend, workplace, and health provider-patient relationships. The
book translates theories of social support communication into
practical application, examining how support messaging goes wrong
and how to do it right. Intended as a supplementary text in
interpersonal communication, psychology, and social work
undergraduate courses, the book is also ideal for professionals who
engage in caretaking and support tasks and wish to enhance their
knowledge of social support theory.
