Contents:
Introduction Part 1: Preserving and Affirming Personhood 1. Humanising a loved one\'s dying 2. Constructing a good death 3. Dying moments Part 2: Absence and Presence 4. Defining loss 5. Materialising loss 6. Rediscovering presence 7. Locating and sustaining presence 8. Continuing bonds in contemporary society.
Summary: Bereavement is often treated as a psychological condition of the individual, with both healthy and pathological forms. However, this empirically-grounded study argues that this is not always the best or only way to help the bereaved, and instead emphasizes normality and social and cultural diversity in grieving.
