Family Estrangement and Bereavement

All

This very insightful article from the New York Times focuses on the heightened grief people in a family rift may feel when the person from whom they are estranged dies. It can lead to a kind of “complicated grief,” involving strong feelings of ambivalence. The article features insights from my book Fault Lines: Fractured Families and How to Mend Them. We are interested in your thoughts and reactions!
