by Patricia L. Antoine (Author)
Death touches everyone. You may be mourning a family member, a friend, a colleague, or a beloved pet. Or you may work in a field--such as healthcare, emergency response, human services, or chaplaincy--where you confront death regularly. The Unknown Sea: Navigating Death, Dying, and Bereavement by Patricia L. Antoine offers a grounded and compassionate exploration of these common experiences of loss. Drawing on more than thirty years of teaching sociology and thanatology, Antoine moves beyond theory to explore what death and grief look like in our personal and professional lives.
Blending academic research with real-life stories, the book examines the dying process, bereavement, and beliefs about the afterlife through a sociological lens. Along the way, it highlights cultural perspectives and reminds us that while grief is universal, no two experiences are the same. Accessible and thoughtful, The Unknown Sea invites readers to better understand loss, support others, and navigate one of life's most deeply human experiences.Author Biography
