Synopsis

Personal experience, cultural traditions, historical trauma, and ongoing structural inequalities often shape loss and grief in the Black community. Beyond individual grief, forms of loss include racial violence, displacement, or health disparities. These complex losses influence how grief is expressed, processed, and supported in families and communities. Understanding the grieving process in this context requires attention to cultural practices, resilience strategies, and community healing. Exploring these dynamics may help develop more responsive mental health frameworks, social systems, and policies that effectively support the Black community. Forms of Loss and the Process of Grieving in the Black Community explores grief and loss within the Black population. It examines current societal challenges, mental health services, family dynamics, and systemic oppressions which affect the grieving process for Black individuals. This book covers topics such as family studies, government and law, and incarceration, and is a useful resource for sociologists, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
