Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welche Rolle spielen Trauer- und Abschiedsrituale in unserer Zeit und wie können wir Räume schaffen, in denen sich Kunst, Fürsorge und Rituale begegnen? Die Kuratorin Barbara Raes hat 2020 bereits zum zweiten Mal auf Einladung des internationalen Produktionshauses HAU Hebbel am Ufer mit Berliner Künstler:innen zu diesen Fragen recherchiert. In dem Versuch, einen unbefangenen Zugang zu diesen Themen zu schaffen und damit ein gesellschaftliches Tabu zu brechen, sind neun sehr persönliche Arbeiten rund ums Abschiednehmen entstanden, die dieses Buch dokumentiert – mit Beiträgen von Olympia Bukkakis, Dragana Bulut, Nuray Demir, Mmakgosi Kgabi, Ania Nowak, Barbara Raes, Falk Rößler, Liz Rosenfeld, Colin Self, Joana Tischkau, Enis Turan. How do rituals of mourning and letting go play a role in our world today, and can they mingle and fuse with the arts and issues of care, if we create the right spaces? At the invitation of the international production house HAU Hebbel am Ufer, curator Barbara Raes has ex- plored these questions in collaboration with Berlin-based artists for the second time. The endeavour to forge an uninhibited approach to grief and so break a social taboo provoked nine highly personal pieces of work on the broader ramifications of (unacknowledged) loss, which this book now documents – with contributions by artists Olympia Bukkakis, Dragana Bulut, Nuray Demir, Mmakgosi Kgabi, Ania Nowak, Barbara Raes, Falk Rößler, Liz Rosenfeld, Colin Self, Joana Tischkau and Enis Turan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das Leben kann als eine Aneinanderreihung von "Momenten des Übergangs" gesehen werden – kleine oder große Begebenheiten, die uns unausweichlichen Veränderungen aussetzen. Die schwindende Bedeutung traditioneller Formen der rituellen Gestaltung von solchen Übergangsmomenten im Leben führt zu einer Suche nach Alternativen. Die Kuratorin Barbara Raes beschäftigt sich in ihrer Praxis mit der Wiederbelebung und Neuentwicklung von Übergangsritualen. Wie können wir den Umgang mit Trauer und Verlust neu lernen? Auf Einladung des internationalen Produktionshauses HAU Hebbel am Ufer in Berlin hat Barbara Raes gemeinsam mit Berliner Künstlerinnen und Künstlern intensiv zu dieser Frage recherchiert. Daraus sind acht persönliche Arbeiten rund ums Abschiednehmen entstanden, die 2017 im HAU zu sehen waren. Eine umfangreiche Dokumentation versammelt jetzt Interviews, Bilder und Reportagen zum Thema Verlust. Mit Beiträgen von Nathalie Bikoro, Claudia Hill, Jassem Hindi, Jasmin İhraç, Ligia Lewis, Maria Scaroni, Mieko Suzuki, Oliver Zahn und Barbara Raes.

Book Synopsis The Myth of Closure: Ambiguous Loss in a Time of Pandemic and Change by : Pauline Boss
Download or read book The Myth of Closure: Ambiguous Loss in a Time of Pandemic and Change written by Pauline Boss and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we begin to cope with loss that cannot be resolved? The COVID-19 pandemic has left many of us haunted by feelings of anxiety, despair, and even anger. In this book, pioneering therapist Pauline Boss identifies these vague feelings of distress as caused by ambiguous loss, losses that remain unclear and hard to pin down, and thus have no closure. Collectively the world is grieving as the pandemic continues to change our everyday lives. With a loss of trust in the world as a safe place, a loss of certainty about health care, education, employment, lingering anxieties plague many of us, even as parts of the world are opening back up again. Yet after so much loss, our search must be for a sense of meaning, and not something as elusive and impossible as "closure." This book provides many strategies for coping: encouraging us to increase our tolerance of ambiguity and acknowledging our resilience as we express a normal grief, and still look to the future with hope and possibility.

Download or read book Ambiguous Loss written by Pauline BOSS and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a loved one dies we mourn our loss. We take comfort in the rituals that mark the passing, and we turn to those around us for support. But what happens when there is no closure, when a family member or a friend who may be still alive is lost to us nonetheless? How, for example, does the mother whose soldier son is missing in action, or the family of an Alzheimer's patient who is suffering from severe dementia, deal with the uncertainty surrounding this kind of loss? In this sensitive and lucid account, Pauline Boss explains that, all too often, those confronted with such ambiguous loss fluctuate between hope and hopelessness. Suffered too long, these emotions can deaden feeling and make it impossible for people to move on with their lives. Yet the central message of this book is that they can move on. Drawing on her research and clinical experience, Boss suggests strategies that can cushion the pain and help families come to terms with their grief. Her work features the heartening narratives of those who cope with ambiguous loss and manage to leave their sadness behind, including those who have lost family members to divorce, immigration, adoption, chronic mental illness, and brain injury. With its message of hope, this eloquent book offers guidance and understanding to those struggling to regain their lives. Table of Contents: 1. Frozen Grief 2. Leaving without Goodbye 3. Goodbye without Leaving 4. Mixed Emotions 5. Ups and Downs 6. The Family Gamble 7. The Turning Point 8. Making Sense out of Ambiguity 9. The Benefit of a Doubt Notes Acknowledgments Reviews of this book: You will find yourself thinking about the issues discussed in this book long after you put it down and perhaps wishing you had extra copies for friends and family members who might benefit from knowing that their sorrows are not unique...This book's value lies in its giving a name to a force many of us will confront--sadly, more than once--and providing personal stories based on 20 years of interviews and research. --Pamela Gerhardt, Washington Post Reviews of this book: A compassionate exploration of the effects of ambiguous loss and how those experiencing it handle this most devastating of losses ... Boss's approach is to encourage families to talk together, to reach a consensus about how to mourn that which has been lost and how to celebrate that which remains. Her simple stories of families doing just that contain lessons for all. Insightful, practical, and refreshingly free of psychobabble. --Kirkus Review Reviews of this book: Engagingly written and richly rewarding, this title presents what Boss has learned from many years of treating individuals and families suffering from uncertain or incomplete loss...The obvious depth of the author's understanding of sufferers of ambiguous loss and the facility with which she communicates that understanding make this a book to be recommended. --R. R. Cornellius, Choice Reviews of this book: Written for a wide readership, the concepts of ambiguous loss take immediate form through the many provocative examples and stories Boss includes, All readers will find stories with which they will relate...Sensitive, grounded and practical, this book should, in my estimation, be required reading for family practitioners. --Ted Bowman, Family Forum Reviews of this book: Dr. Boss describes [the] all-too-common phenomenon [of unresolved grief] as resulting from either of two circumstances: when the lost person is still physically present but emotionally absent or when the lost person is physically absent but still emotionally present. In addition to senility, physical presence but psychological absence may result, for example, when a person is suffering from a serious mental disorder like schizophrenia or depression or debilitating neurological damage from an accident or severe stroke, when a person abuses drugs or alcohol, when a child is autistic or when a spouse is a workaholic who is not really 'there' even when he or she is at home...Cases of physical absence with continuing psychological presence typically occur when a soldier is missing in action, when a child disappears and is not found, when a former lover or spouse is still very much missed, when a child 'loses' a parent to divorce or when people are separated from their loved ones by immigration...Professionals familiar with Dr. Boss's work emphasised that people suffering from ambiguous loss were not mentally ill, but were just stuck and needed help getting past the barrier or unresolved grief so that they could get on with their lives. --Asian Age Combining her talents as a compassionate family therapist and a creative researcher, Pauline Boss eloquently shows the many and complex ways that people can cope with the inevitable losses in contemporary family life. A wise book, and certain to become a classic. --Constance R. Ahrons, author of The Good Divorce A powerful and healing book. Families experiencing ambiguous loss will find strategies for seeing what aspects of their loved ones remain, and for understanding and grieving what they have lost. Pauline Boss offers us both insight and clarity. --Kathy Weingarten, Ph.D, The Family Institute of Cambridge, Harvard Medical School

Book Synopsis Grief Is a Journey by : Kenneth J. Doka
Download or read book Grief Is a Journey written by Kenneth J. Doka and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doka explores a new, compassionate way to grieve as he explains that grief is not an illness to get over but an individual and ongoing journey. He upends the dominant but incorrect view that grief proceeds by stages, and helps us realize that our experiences following a death are far more individual and much less predictable than the conventional "five stages" model would have us believe. Doka also explains how to cope with disenfranchised grief, not so readily recognized or supported by society, such as the death of ex-spouses, the end of a friendship, job loss, or infertility.
Book Synopsis Memorializing the Past by : Heidi Grunebaum
Download or read book Memorializing the Past written by Heidi Grunebaum and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a meditation on the shaping of time and its impact on living with and understanding atrocity in South Africa in the wake of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). It is an examination of the ways that the institutionalization of memory has managed perceptions of time and transition, of events and happenings, of sense and emotion, of violence and recovery, of the past and the new. Through this process a public language of memory has been carved into collective modes of meaning. It is a language that seems deprived of the hopes, dreams, and possibilities for the promise of a just and redemptive future it once nurtured.Truth commissions are profoundly implicated in the social politics of memorialization. Memory, as a conceptual, historical, and experiential discourse about the past, relates to the ways in which cruelty is integrated into societal understandings, which include cognitive and philosophic frameworks and constructions of social meaning. The politics of historical truth, of memory and of justice, play out in unintended ways. There is not only the ongoing struggle for survivors of state terror, but also the ways that the everyday shapings of silences, the emptiness of reconciliation and the fracturing of hope remain embedded in political life.
Book Synopsis Sustaining Persons, Grieving Losses by : Dianne Crowther
Download or read book Sustaining Persons, Grieving Losses written by Dianne Crowther and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-01-19 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dementia presents a significant social issue in a hyper-cognitive culture where stigma, relational neglect, and isolation still accompany forgetfulness. This raises serious theological, ecclesiological, and pastoral questions calling for a Christian response. To fight against a malignant social positioning of anyone as an "an empty shell" is crucial; nonetheless, there is another pressing reality, the reality of ongoing loss. Often the focus is on one or the other side: affirming personhood or acknowledging loss and grief. Spiritual caregiving and Christian pastoral caregiving are uniquely placed to offer both sustaining relationship and grief support to both caregivers and persons with dementia. This pastoral approach emerges from cultural scholarship, rigorous on-the-ground research, and theological reflection on God's purposes in responding to persons in and beyond the Christian community. Christian communities are called to be places of agape love, compassion, and hospitality. We, individually and corporately, are called to care: to love, honor, value, comfort, and sustain one another--and "one another" includes those who travel the road of forgetting and those who travel with them. This fresh pastoral approach offers theologically and culturally informed, practical ways of sustaining persons in the midst of their losses, throughout the dementia journey.
Book Synopsis Pastoral Care for Survivors of a Traumatic Death by : Jeonghyun Park
Download or read book Pastoral Care for Survivors of a Traumatic Death written by Jeonghyun Park and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern life has led to an increase in traumatic deaths, such as accidents, murders, suicide, and other types of unanticipated, violent death. Family members and friends grieving a traumatic death face enormous shock, numbness, and despair, as well as the need to find hope and God's mercy and grace in the midst of chaos, difficult questions, and confusion. The Christian church and faith community often do not provide appropriate pastoral care to help the bereaved overcome their despair. Jeonghyun Park explores the unique characteristics and dynamics of traumatic grief, or grief in response to traumatic death, and present several approaches to pastoral care. The survivors of a traumatic death are likely to ask pastors spiritually despairing and tough questions, such as, Where is God in this tragic death? If we have to accept this new reality, where can we find God's grace and mercy, power, and justice? Pastors and other spiritual leaders can provide comfort to the loved ones of victims of traumatic death by assisting them with their questions concerning a "helpless God" and a "cruel God." This book offers new insights through specific pastoral care models and guidance for families needing healing, recovery, and meaningful rituals.
