ISBN: 9798241483065 - Bereavement: Understanding the Journey Through Grief (5 results)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Bereavement: Understanding the Journey through Grief offers a compassionate, interdisciplinary exploration of grief as a deeply human and ethically significant experience rather than a problem to be solved. Drawing from psychology, theology, sociology, and pastoral care, the book reframes bereavement as a lived condition that reshapes identity, meaning, and daily life after loss. It challenges rigid stage-based models of grief, instead presenting grief as a set of overlapping movements-denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, and continuing bonds-that unfold nonlinearly and uniquely for each person. Throughout the chapters, grief is approached as an adaptive process rooted in love and attachment, not pathology. The text emphasizes the moral responsibility of accompaniment, arguing that the most authentic care for the bereaved lies in presence, listening, and restraint rather than explanation or correction. Special attention is given to the bodily, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions of loss, as well as to the cultural contexts that shape how grief is expressed and supported. The book also affirms the legitimacy of continuing bonds with the deceased, rejecting the myth that healing requires detachment or forgetting. Through reflective analysis, ethical guidance, and practical appendices-including reflection questions, prayers, cultural perspectives, and assessment considerations-the work serves both those who grieve and those who accompany them. Ultimately, it offers permission to grieve without apology and to live forward without erasing love. This item is printed on demand.
