Grief Country
Grief Country is the story of a widow's quest to become her own grief expert. Stephanie Larkin's world was turned upside down when her husband died. "I stabbed at my grief with my pen," she writes, but her poems and essays could only lessen a fraction of the searing pain of widowhood. She decides to throw herself into studying what the "experts" have to say about grief, discovering in the process that theories about bereavement vary wildly. What is true about grief? Who are the real experts? These are just a few of the questions Larkin tackles in this candid, thought-provoking book. Grief Country traces Larkin's personal journey through loss, blending her raw depiction of widowhood with an insightful meditation on the field of grief studies. A book that will appeal both to the bereaved and to those who seek a deeper understanding of the experience of widowhood.

Leading experts from both disciplines demonstrate how sociocultural ideas (such as the relevance of experience, opportunity to learn, environment, personal histories, meaning, participation, memory, and feelings of belonging) align with and reflect upon new understandings emerging from neuroscience concerning plasticity and neural networks. Among the themes critica...
