NARRATIVES OF PARENTAL DEATH DYING AND BEREAVEM...

This collection shows what happens when facing the inevitable and sometimes expected death of a
parent  and how such an ordinary part of life as parental death might connect with the children
left behind. In many ways  individual deaths are extraordinary and leave a unique legacy - a
kind of haunting. The authors' accounts seek to make sense of death through witnessing its
enactment and recording its detail. All the authors are experienced researchers in the field of
death studies  and their collective expertise encompasses ethnography  psychology  sociology
and anthropology. The individual descriptions of death and grief capture the everyday
practicalities of managing death and dying  including  for example  the difficulties of caring
responsibilities and the realities of dealing with strained family relationships. These
accounts show the raw detail of death  they are deeply personal observations framed within
critical theories. As established scholars and practitioners that have researched and worked in
end-of-life and bereavement care  the authors in this anthology offer a unique perspective on
how identity is shaped by a close bereavement. The book employs a strong editorial narrative
that blends memoir with theoretical engagement  and will be of interest to death studies
scholars  as well as practitioners involved in end-of-life care and bereavement care and anyone
who has experienced the death of a parent.
