The introduction of the continuing bonds model of grief near the end of the 20th century revolutionized the way researchers and practitioners understand bereavement. Continuing Bonds in Bereavement is the most comprehensive, state-of-the-art collection of developments in this field since the inception of the model. As a multi-perspectival, nuanced, and forward-looking anthology, it combines innovations in clinical practice with theoretical and empirical advancements. The text traces grief in different cultural settings, asking questions about the truth in our interactions with the dead and showing how new cultural developments like social media change the ways we relate to those who have died. Together, the book’s four sections encourage practitioners and scholars in both bereavement studies and in other fields to broaden their understanding of the concept of continuing bonds.

Product description

Review

"The concept of continuing bonds has proven to be a very influential one. This review of its contemporary significance is a superb piece of scholarship that will delight anyone interested in understanding the complexities of loss and grief. An impressive lineup of writers provides both breadth and depth. The editors have done an excellent job in producing an outstanding anthology that will be of lasting value."

Neil Thompson, PhD, DLitt, professor, Wrexham Glyndwr University

"Continuing Bonds in Bereavement is a large buffet covering various aspects of continuing relationships with deceased loved ones. Created by expert chefs, the dishes cover theory, therapeutic experiences (with transcripts that are very moving), forgiveness, after-death communications, religion, and culture. Choose what interests you. Digest. Learn. Grow."

Lillian Range, PhD, professor of psychology and counseling, University of Holy Cross

"A powerful concept demands extensive explanation and theoretical exploration. This encyclopedia-like volume does just that for continuing bonds and will serve as a benchmark reference for ongoing study and research."

Douglas J. Davies, PhD, DLitt, Hon Dr Theol, professor in the study of religion, director of Centre for Death and Life Studies, Durham University

"Finally, a pithy comprehensive synthesis of evolving bereavement theories, practices, and paradoxes inherent in the continuing bond paradigms. This timely anthology further equips therapists, educators, and even the grieving with diverse cultural and digital modes of expression applicable in our professional and personal lives."

Sandra L. Bertman, PhD, FT, author, Grief and the Healing Arts: Creativity as Therapy

    5.0 out of 5 stars Modern and Research-Based Perspective on Bereavement
    Reviewed in the United States on 19 August 2024
    This book is a wealth of information regarding how different cultures view death and dying. The book normalizes spiritual experiences of the bereaved, like visits from departed loved ones, and gives many examples of how people continue bonds with the departed. The book has many interesting details about a variety of cultures around the world and how the deceased are honored and engaged with. Taking a modern approach, the authors look at how technology and SM has been integrated into honoring the bereaved and keeping their memories alive. What struck me is how similar continuing bonds are around the world, regardless of our different religious beliefs or lack thereof. I found this book to be engaging and informative. I'm so glad that it validates, through research, many bereaved people's experiences. Many researchers still do not distinguish between trauma responses (like ruminating and replaying a distressing event that happened when the loved one was alive) from an after-death communication experience or purposeful engagement with the departed which often provide healing and comfort.
