This volume explains a new theory of grief and loss that is designed to represent the realities not addressed in current conventional views of grief. First and last, McCabe's is a relational theory of grief. Inherent in this theory is the reality that the lost one remains and ongoing part of our existence and that a major dimension of grieving involves reintegrating our lives around the lost presence. This process does not have stages or prescribed time limits as those cited in traditional theory. The experience proceeds, rather, in terms of the griever's prior, ongoing, dynamic relationship with the loved one as well as others, and the griever's personal resources for reconstituting life in the face of personal loss.

This volume will be useful to scholars and practioners whose work brings them in touch with death issues. Academics in psychology, sociology, nursing and religion will find this of interest, as will practitioners in bereavement counseling, menetal health, religion, social work, nursing and medicine.
