Summary: Debunking the commonly held perception that bereavement consists of an invariant sequence of stages, this book demonstrates that highly individual processes of "meaning making" are actually at the heart of grief dynamics. This groundbreaking volume exposes meaning reconstruction in response to loss as the central process in grieving. Authors stress the fundamental necessity for a healthy role of continued symbolic bonds as well as an appreciation of life-enhancing growth as one integrates the lessons of loss.
