This book appeals to scholars and students interested in culture and bereavement. Bereavement occurs in a socio-cultural context, which helps to provide an understanding of how people would cope with grief, accordingly. For example, coping with grief in the context of the workplace would be different than coping with grief in the case of a spousal loss. When compared to competing books, this book s approach is unique. Topics covered include widowhood, abortion, death anxiety, dying experience, workplace bereavement, resilience, disenfranchised grief, and grief rituals. Unlike competing books, culture is given prominence beyond religion, in coping with grief.
