Synopsis

Superhero Grief and the Multiverse of Loss explores the unseen grief people carry: the pain of non-death losses, such as divorce, illness, disability, job loss, identity change, estrangement, relocation, addiction, mental illness, betrayal, and/or loss of future hopes and dreams.

Drawing on powerful metaphors from modern superhero narratives, this book helps readers understand that grief is experienced not only after the death of a loved one but can also arise from the tangible and intangible losses of everyday life. With case studies and practical insights, this book validates grief that emerges from non-death losses and offers strategies for coping. Superhero Grief and the Multiverse of Loss acknowledges the painful adversities of life that send us on our own hero’s journey through loss and provides readers with the hope of finding a way forward.

This book combines the overlooked realities of non-death loss with the compelling storytelling of superhero mythology, helping professionals and grievers understand grief in a way that is powerful and relatable.
