In many ways, individual deaths are extraordinary and leave a unique legacy - a kind of haunting. The authors' accounts seek to make sense of death through witnessing its enactment and recording its detail. All the authors are experienced researchers in the field of death studies, and their collective expertise encompasses ethnography, psychology, sociology and anthropology. The individual descriptions of death and grief capture the everyday practicalities of managing death and dying, including, for example, the difficulties of caring responsibilities and the realities of dealing with strained family relationships. These accounts show the raw detail of death; they are deeply personal observations framed within critical theories. As established scholars and practitioners that have researched and worked in end-of-life and bereavement care, the authors in this anthology offer a unique perspective on how identity is shaped by a close bereavement. The book employs a strong editorial narrative that blends memoir with theoretical engagement, and will be of interest to death studies scholars, as well as practitioners involved in end-of-life care and bereavement care and anyone who has experienced the death of a parent. Caroline Pearce is a Visiting Researcher at the Palliative and End of Life Care Group, University of Cambridge, UK. Carol Komaromy is a medical sociologist who has worked extensively in both NHS clinical practice and academia. She served as co-editor of the journal Mortality and was a founding member of the Association of Death and Society. Carol has retired from full-time work but is an honorary associate of The Open University, UK. 606 $aSociology 606 $aSocial groups 606 $aCulture 606 $aCounseling 606 $aSocial service 606 $aSociology of Family, Youth and Aging 606 $aSociology of Culture 606 $aCounseling 606 $aSocial Care 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aSocial groups. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aCounseling. 615 0$aSocial service. 615 14$aSociology of Family, Youth and Aging. 615 24$aSociology of Culture. 615 24$aCounseling. 615 24$aSocial Care. 676 $a155.937 676 $a306.9 702 $aPearce$b Caroline 702 $aKomaromy$b Carol 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483814403321 996 $aNarratives of parental death, dying and bereavement$92586212 997 $aUNINA
