Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This is the third edition of a classic study into bereavement, which aims to answer questions like: how is bereavement affected by age, gender, manner of death, personal psychology and culture; what are the signs of pathological grieving which can lead to mental illness; and how can carers provide genuine help without interfering with the painful but necessary work of mourning? New to this edition are discussions of the many forms of loss and recent research by the author.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 241-258) and index.
