First published in 1996. This new book gives voice to an emerging consensus among bereavement scholars that our understanding of the grief process needs to be expanded. The dominant 20th century model holds that the function of grief and mourning is to cut bonds with the deceased, thereby freeing the survivor to reinvest in new relationships in the present. Pathological grief has been defined in terms of holding on to the deceased. Close examination reveals that this model is based more on the cultural values of modernity than on any substantial data of what people actually do. Presenting data from several populations, 22 authors - among the most respected in their fields - demonstrate that the health resolution of grief enables one to maintain a continuing bond with the deceased. Despite cultural disapproval and lack of validation by professionals, survivors find places for the dead in their on-going lives and even in their communities. Such bonds are not denial: the deceased can provide resources for enriched functioning in the present. Chapters examine widows and widowers, bereaved children, parents and siblings, and a population previously excluded from bereavement research: adoptees and their birth parents. Bereavement in Japanese culture is also discussed, as are meanings and implications of this new model of grief. Opening new areas of research and scholarly dialogue, this work provides the basis for significant developments in clinical practice in the field.

It starts with the breakdown; twenty years together. It ends breaking free, into new life. Poet Tamara Mendelson charts her divorce cycle in Divorce Poetry: Breaking Free, A Soul-Healing Journey Through the Five Stages of Divorce. She shares her raw emotions and bitter truths learned, such as the meaning of "forever". From breaking down to breaking free, each of the five sections includes poetry intended for people going through their own emotional tidal waves. Mendelson never expected to divorce. What was to last forever, lasted seventeen years. Rather than settling for a loveless marriage, she made the decision to leave. Luckily for readers, she reengaged life with poetry as part of her healing process, and has discovered that others have suffered like she did. Here she presents readers with her book of verse, expressing how to be with and endure their pain to find peace. Much light is found at the end of her journey, and with each poem, she helps readers find their own.
