This article argues that the current conceptualization of grief is too narrow, particularly in relation to the experiences of Black Americans. It explores how the racialization of Black people in America has influenced their experiences of loss, grief, and bereavement and proposes a new theoretical conceptualization to deepen our understanding of grief amongst Black Americans.
In the current article, we argue that the current conceptualization of grief as the acute pain that accompanies the loss of a loved one is too narrow in scope. Specifically, our current conceptualization of grief fails to account for the various ways in which grief is manifested amongst Black Americans. Throughout the article, we explore how the history of the racialization of Black people in America has resulted in a unique experience of loss, grief, and bereavement which previous research has largely failed to elucidate. Additionally, we explore how grief catalyzes political and social action. The article also proposes a novel theoretical conceptualization of personal and collective grief to deepen our conceptualization of grief amongst Black Americans. Finally, we posit that we must also consider how to further research on this collective grief to increase our understanding of it and to account for similar phenomena that may exist in communities who've had similar experiences (e.g., Indigenous peoples in the Americas and Dalits in India).
