Bereavement Overload and Disenfranchised Grief, assignment help
Two theories you will learn about, which I want to highlight:
Bereavement Overload – this is when a person experiences numerous losses, and has not yet recovered from one before being confronted with another…this can be additional deaths, or losses secondary to the original death.
Disenfranchised Grief – this is a grief or loss that is not publicly supported or condoned. So someone who lives on the fringes of society, or someone where an element of either the person, or the death, is socially taboo..
