- Title
Context matters: The global adversity of missing family members.
- Authors
Boss, Pauline
- Abstract
The article titled "Context matters: The global adversity of missing family members" discusses the importance of considering the context in which families experience ambiguous loss. The author emphasizes that in times of unprecedented losses, such as the pandemic, war, forced migrations, and climate change, the context plays a significant role in causing human distress and unresolved grief. The article suggests that traditional grief therapies are not effective for families experiencing ambiguous loss, as there is no proof of death or closure. The author calls for further research on the impact of global adversity on families and the development of interventions that take context into account.
