The book offers a new perspective on loss to those who are grieving, as well as to professionals who are trying to help them. The author argues that traditional views on grief are too superficial and simplistic and develops a new understanding of grief as a process of "meaning reconstruction." Using stories of real people who have faced significant loss, it helps the reader activate the personal and social resources needed for the adaptation process to loss. It suggests ways to preserve the memory of those we have lost. Finally, it analyzes different cases of loss, such as separation or job dismissal. The book is characterized by sensitivity, theoretical documentation, and practical application.
