This book is a groundbreaking resource that explores loss through multidisciplinary and multicultural perspectives. Guided by the Spiral Model of Grieving and Healing, it honors the deeply personal yet socially embedded nature of dying and grieving.

It also maintains a compassionate and contemplative approach, incorporating diverse cultural viewpoints throughout.

Part I: An Integrative Understanding of Death, Dying, and GriefPart II: Theories and Concepts in Loss, Grief, and DyingPart III: Principles and Practices in End-of-Life and Grief SupportPart IV: Supporting Psychosocial Needs in End-of-Life and Grieving
