N2  - "Grief Memoirs bridges the gap between literary studies and psychology to provide an in-depth examination of contemporary grief memoirs, evaluating their literary, cultural, therapeutic, and educational functions and benefits for bereaved and non-bereaved individuals. This volume will present readers with definitions of the genre within existing literature and survey studies, and the genre's characteristics, functions, and their implications for literary studies and psychology utilizing memoirists of discussed narratives, therapists, and the bereaved. This text also includes discussions on the compatibility of grief memoirs with current grief theories; writing and reading as self-expressive, self-searching, and grief witnessing acts assessed by the authors; and the therapeutic and educational value of grief memoirs. This book will be ideal in helping professionals and educators advance the understanding and interpretation of loss within literary, psychological, and medical humanities classrooms"--
