5 Exploring grief

This final section is focused grief and bereavement – particularly the social context of bereavement and grieving behaviour (social norms). In this section, you will explore the public dimensions of grief (such as by examining the deaths of celebrities) and the way in which grief is portrayed in popular culture (such as in film and music).
