impact of death of friends  

Definición

  • In a postmodern era when friendship is often more highly prized than in previous generations, many individuals create a family of investment or a family of friends to enhance, supplement, or replace the family of origin. For others, kinship and friendships overlap: “My mother was my best friend” or “John was like a brother to me.” Funeral ritual, estate inheritance law, and custom still favor bloodline for grief recognition, ritual planning and participation, and social support.
