Reviews

By focusing on the continuing bond survivors maintain with the deceased, Valentine demonstrates how grief narratives are nested in the remembered relationship with the living person, in the story the person as he or she died, and in the culture's values and beliefs. Valentine has listened closely to stories of bereaved people in this well-done qualitative study, and in doing so, she has made a significant contribution to the current scholarly and clinical understanding of grief. Dennis Klass, Professor Emeritus, Webster University, USA
