Compare The Labour Of Loss by Joy Damousi, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The Labour of Loss explores how mothers, fathers, widows, relatives and friends dealt with their experiences of grief and loss during and after the First and Second World Wars. Based on an examination of private loss through letters and diaries, this study makes a significant contribution to understanding how people came to terms with the deaths of friends and family. Unlike other studies in this area, The Labour of Loss considers how mourning affected men and women in different ways, and analyzes the gendered dimensions of grief. | The Labour Of Loss by Joy Damousi, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
