| Résumé: | Loss and grief are fundamental aspects of human experience, yet adapting to the profound changes brought about by loss often proves challenging to individuals and communities alike. This essay introduces readers to the concept of grief as a process of ‘relearning the world,’ and offers a framework for the practice of pastoral care with those who have experienced loss. I begin by exploring some of the central features of loss and grief, and then address the importance of considering contextual factors when caring for those who are grieving. Finally, I suggest that specific practices of care related to meaning-making, lament, and ritual can help grieving persons and communities to relearn their worlds in the wake of significant loss. |
