In the past, most people encountered death at a relatively young age. Dying relatives were cared for at home, and mortality rates were higher. Today, there is much less familiarity with death, which increasingly takes place in hospitals, hospices and nursing homes. This wide-ranging and enlightening book offers an exploration of death and dying as human conditions that impact on the individual, their significant others and those involved with their care and well-being. It is aimed at medical and healthcare staff, social workers and counsellors, as well as social sciences and health psychology

Dans notre société d'où la mort a été évacuée, le deuil d'un proche est désormais considéré comme un travail à faire dans un délai prescrit, l'expression « faire son deuil » en témoigne. Par ce « travail de deuil », les endeuillés sont enjoints à effacer leur souffrance et à vivre comme avant, à « refaire leur vie ». Or ils manifestent tous le besoin de vivre avec l'absence et de construire le souvenir des morts. Le deuil d'un être cher est-il encore possible en Occident : c'est autour de cette grave question que Pascal Dreyer a rassemblé témoignages d'endeuillés et contributions de spécialistes. La présence virtuelle de la mort aux informations, au cinéma, sur Internet… nous touche en permanence. Sa présence réelle aussi puisque plus de 555 000 personnes décèdent chaque année, laissant désemparés, une famille, un conjoint, des parents, des amis. Nous sommes tous touchés par la disparition d'un être cher et nous nous retrouvons seuls. Si les cadres de la société et de la religion ont longtemps proposé – voire imposé – des rites qui avaient pour but d'accompagner l'endeuillé dans un cheminement collectif et personnel, la situation a radicalement changé. Aujourd'hui, la souffrance de l'absence, psychologisée et médicalisée, relève d'un soin qui a pour objectif d'en faire disparaître les symptômes les plus perturbants pour l'individu et pour la société. Pourtant, les endeuillés revendiquent cette douleur et souhaitent partager et vivre au milieu des autres la perte de leur proche et la transformation de leur vie. Soulignons aussi que le deuil lui-même a changé de nature, avec les avancées de la médecine. Le deuil périnatal, la mort d'un enfant, toujours scandaleuse, les deuils à répétition de l'épidémie du sida et la mort au terme d'une vie de plus en plus longue constituent des « nouveautés » dans notre expérience de la mort et de la perte. Cet ouvrage a pris le parti de faire dialoguer les spécialistes de la mort et du deuil et les endeuillés. Ont invités à réfléchir sur la place laissée à la mort, aux cérémonies funèbres et au deuil des survivants des psychologues, anthropologues, théologiens, philosophes, artistes, professionnels des services funéraires, professionnels de santé, et surtout des endeuillés dont les témoignages, précieux, ont été recueillis lors d'une enquête approfondie conduite par Pascal Dreyer.

The loss of a loved one is one of the most painful experiences that most of us will ever have to face in our lives. This book recognizes that there is no single solution to the problems of bereavement but that an understanding of grief can help the bereaved to realize that they are not alone in their experience. Long recognized as the most authoritative work of its kind, this new edition has been revised and extended to take into account recent research findings on both sides of the Atlantic. Parkes and Prigerson include additional information about the different circumstances of bereavement including traumatic losses, disasters, and complicated grief, as well as providing details on how social, religious, and cultural influences determine how we grieve. Bereavement provides guidance on preparing for the loss of a loved one, and coping after they have gone. It also discusses how to identify the minority in whom bereavement may lead to impairment of physical and/or mental health and how to ensure they get the help they need.--Jacket.
