Baked beans for bereavement
Keywords:
childhood, bereavement, routine, relationship, patternsAbstract
AbstractMy primary goal in conducting the research was to investigate and hypothesise about the relationships and patterns involved in childhood bereavement. Methodologically, I applied a combined process, to view both the data and my work with bereaved children. I explored the relationships between the stories told in a therapeutic dialogue, and the emergent patterns within my research data. Furthermore, this study will analyse and discuss the literature around grief as an interdependent transactional process, as well as the unique characteristics of childhood bereavement. I will describe and investigate patterns within the data of the National Child Development Study (NCDS) and discuss the blossoming concept of routine, as it relates to the processing of grief in children.
