While rituals surrounding death may vary by geography, culture, and
time, experiencing the loss of a loved one is a universal
experience. Death has become a focal point during the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic, forcing many to unexpectedly confront the
profound and enduring reality of loss. Understanding death from a
multidisciplinary approach, Facing Death compiles contributions
from across fields, methodologies, locations, cultures, and
circumstances. Facing Death explores beyond loss solely on an
individual level, considering instead helpful or harmful emotional
reactions from others. Delving into how older adults who experience
loss may find themselves without a support system, while those at a
young age might find that their peers do not understand or know how
to support them in their bereavement, the authors also consider how
causes of death can also affect grieving loved ones on a personal
and societal level. For example, how might death by suicide
complicate the grieving process as family and friends not only have
to contend with the loss itself, but also the associated stigmas
and judgements surrounding suicide? How might individuals
experience fear and anxiety about death during a prolonged illness?
Exploring responses to familial illness and death, this edited
collection is a detailed investigation of the subject for any
scholar interested in discussions and decisions surrounding end of
life care and the grief trajectory after loss.
