Description:... This book "argues that traditional theories of grief are too superficial and simplistic; develops a fresh theory of grieving as a process of 'meaning reconstruction'; uses ... stories of actual people struggling through loss; considers grieving as an active process of transformation; helps the reader mobilize the personal and social resources needed for healing; suggests ritualizing and memorializing the people and things we miss; outlines concrete personal applications... ; covers the impacts of different types of losses, from death to relationships to jobs." -- Back cover.
