For example, dying and death come frequently and early in life in a society where there is widespread poverty. In contrast, dying and death typically come late in life in a more developed society such as Canada at the beginning of the 21st century. How we live influences how and at what age we die. Similarly, dying is both a personal experience and a social role given shape and meaning by social practices and cultural definitions. The bereaved grieve and mourn in both personal and social terms and the meaning assigned to dying and death is both personally and socially constructed. This book is written for students who wish to learn about dying and death, for practitioners who work with the dying and the bereaved, for the dying and the bereaved themselves, and for the general public.<br><br><i>Quick Review produced from information supplied by the publisher.<\/i><\/div><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-info-a-20-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--500);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--500);\" class=\"alignfull alignfull wp-block-wicket-dynamically-related-content\">\n\t<div class=\"px-4 lg:px-0 component-related-posts\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mb-10\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"text-heading-sm font-bold\">Related Bulletins<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<a \tclass=\"component-related-posts__view-all underline hover:no-underline ml-4 pl-4 border-l border-dark-070 component-link underline hover:no-underline focus:shadow-focus\"\n\thref=\"\"\n\ttarget=\"_self\"\n\t>\n\tView All<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"component-related-posts__col-3 grid gap-10 grid-cols-1 lg:grid-cols-3 lg:gap-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"@container\">\n\t<div class=\"p-4 component-card-featured bg-white shadow-4 flex flex-col gap-4 relative component-card-featured--bulletin @2xl:flex-col @2xl:items-center\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"component-card-featured__content-wrapper flex flex-col grow items-start gap-3\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"component-card-featured__content-type text-dark-070 uppercase font-bold leading-none\">\n\t\t\t\t\tFeature\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.caut.ca\/bulletin\/the-manchurian-candidate-goes-to-harvard\/\" class=\"component-card-featured__title block text-dark-100 font-bold leading-7 text-heading-xs @2xl:text-heading-md\">\n\t\t\t\t\tThe Manchurian candidate goes to Harvard\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"flex gap-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"component-card-featured__date text-body-sm text-dark-070 italic\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t11-09-2025\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"@container\">\n\t<div class=\"p-4 component-card-featured bg-white shadow-4 flex flex-col gap-4 relative component-card-featured--bulletin @2xl:flex-col @2xl:items-center\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"component-card-featured__content-wrapper flex flex-col grow items-start gap-3\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"component-card-featured__content-type text-dark-070 uppercase font-bold leading-none\">\n\t\t\t\t\tPresident's message\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.caut.ca\/bulletin\/the-trouble-with-normal\/\" class=\"component-card-featured__title block text-dark-100 font-bold leading-7 text-heading-xs @2xl:text-heading-md\">\n\t\t\t\t\tThe trouble with normal\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"flex gap-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"component-card-featured__date text-body-sm text-dark-070 italic\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t11-09-2025\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"@container\">\n\t<div class=\"p-4 component-card-featured bg-white shadow-4 flex flex-col gap-4 relative component-card-featured--bulletin @2xl:flex-col @2xl:items-center\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"component-card-featured__content-wrapper flex flex-col grow items-start gap-3\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"component-card-featured__content-type text-dark-070 uppercase font-bold leading-none\">\n\t\t\t\t\tBy the numbers\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.caut.ca\/bulletin\/academic-staff-association-strikes-and-lockouts-over-the-last-decade\/\" class=\"component-card-featured__title block text-dark-100 font-bold leading-7 text-heading-xs @2xl:text-heading-md\">\n\t\t\t\t\tAcademic staff association strikes and lockouts over the last decade\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"flex gap-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"component-card-featured__date text-body-sm text-dark-070 italic\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t11-09-2025\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Herbert C.
