Abstract
This descriptive study uses an existential framework for analyzing the grief process. The existential component of grief is presented as centered upon the effort to bring meaning to loss arid the existence of death in the world. The chronically ill and disabled are introduced into the study, and serve to demonstrate the existential struggle to create a meaningful life after loss. Their efforts are impeded by our death-avoiding social reality which reacts negatively to their physical conditions.
