Editorial Reviews
Review
"Walter offers 22 stories of individuals whose life partner died, presenting them against a tapestry of bereavement theories and issues. The widows and widowers describe the challenges of reframing their identity and life; particularly powerful are narratives and experiences of gay men and lesbians, because as disenfranchised grievers they lack the access to the legal benefits, supports, and social rituals of mourning... The captivating struggle of grief involves a crisis in meaning as bereavement shatters assumptions, support systems, coupled identity, and patterns of life." -- Choice
"First of its kind...psychologists and counselors can benefit from this book." -- Canadian Social Work
"Walter's book is well written, accessible and compassionate and certainly extends our understanding of the experiences and needs of bereaved partners." -- Carole Smith, Journal of Social Work
"Well structured and accessible to both lay and professional readers." -- Christine Valentine, Mortality
Review
"With clarity and grace, Walter articulates traditional and postmodern bereavement theory, and illuminates these theories with moving narratives..." -- Jeffrey Kauffman, Center for the Care of Community Institutions
