| Annotation | Most clinical and research literature on bereavement examines family deaths, but there is a paucity of concern about the impact of these losses on old people. Furthermore, professional literature on old age tends to all but ignore death. The authors suggest that the lack of interface between gerontology and thanatology (the scientific study of practices relating to death) is a reflection of the devaluation of the elderly and their grief. This offers a challenge to the counsellors and caregivers of older people. |
