ABSTRACT
How does a friend like Dunlap grieve in a culture that so enthusiastically privatizes grief around one clear expectation: moving on? How does any friend go against that cultural mandate in order to embrace grief, especially if others in the friendorbit deny, abandon, or mask their grief? How does an individual-particularly a grief-novice-do thorough griefwork for a friend? How does a friend sort through that which resembles grief for other friends in order to recognize the particulars of this friend’s death?
