| ISSN Series: | Death, Value and Meaning Series | | Abstract: | Effective bereavement care requires a knowledge of an individual's physical, social, educational, and spiritual existence since the expressions of grief and the needs that emerge vary widely from one to another and are subject to past experiences, cultural expectations, personal beliefs, and relationships. An individual's identity comes from a sense of personal uniqueness; solidarity with group ideals; continuity with the past, present and future; and from the culture by which an individual is raised or adopted. A culture is the cumulative expression of a group's attempts, through the rationality available to them, to pursue interests with one another and the material environment. It represents the pattern of values passed from generation to generation: knowledge, customs, beliefs, art, laws, moral ideas and ideas of success. People live and die according to their value systems. It is important, then, that caregivers understand not only the values and traditions of the major religions of the world, but also the national values and traditions by which persons find meaning. In Death and Bereavement Around the World, Volume 3: Death and Bereavement in Europe, the contributors explore attitudes, funeral practices, and end-of-life care in the European countries. Death and Bereavement Around the World will be a valuable resource for those who care for others during a time of stress or crisis. Physicians and nurses, clergy and funeral directors, teachers, scout leaders, coaches, and lay caretakers will be better able to understand, communicate, and integrate bereavement traditions with their patients, clients, colleagues and family members. |
