| Annotation | All societies have their own customs and beliefs surrounding death. This book describes the rituals and beliefs of major world religions; explains their psychological and historical context; and shows how customs change by contact with the West. It explains mourning traditions around the world, with the aim of increasing the understanding of death - particularly by doctors, nurses, social workers, counsellors and others involved in the care of the dying and bereaved. |
