A widow becomes her own "grief expert." Grief Country intersperses personal poems and essays with an overview of the major (and often conflicting) grief theories that have been proposed since Sigmund Freud first introduced the idea of "grief work" a century ago.
"By weaving in expert opinions... the author gives a more nuanced picture of the bereavement process than is conveyed by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's now-discredited five stages... Throughout the book she uses the effective metaphor of grief as a country. A personal, relatable study of grief."
