The "Ecrire le deuil" critique studies how grief takes place in literary works as a fundamental theme, which develops in three different stages: shock and avoidance, disorganization and reinsertion. In the end, the creator's identity is reinforced and transformed by this hardship, which in a way forced him to write. / The ten short stories forming the anthology "Le trou dans la vie" deal with all kinds of grief, recent or old, throbbing or diffuse. The characters are all struggling with an absence, and must reconstruct their lives around it. Both subject and driving force of the creative process, loss is the hub of all those short stories.

The critique entitled "L'ecriture du deuil" studies ten contemporary works of literature in light of psychoanalytical theories on mourning. The authors of the chosen pieces are always a grieving narrator going through the long process of mourning and relating the past with the lost loved one. The objective of this memoire is to verify whether or not writing permits the narrators to come to terms with the death, in other words, if it helps them to detach themselves definitively from the lost or inversely, leads them to pathological grievance aimed at reviving the deceased. / The work of fiction entitled "Un petit bruit sec dans la chambre et puis rien" describes the degeneration, the suffering and the death of a father along with the upheaval of the narrator's family unit, herself struck by the news.

This thesis analyzes the relationship between collaboration and learning to cope with grief in Denise Desautels' poetic works. It shows that this writing strategy influences the representation of mourning and contributes to the learning process, which is characterized by a constant oscillation between opposing poles, such as life and death, the past and present, the self and other, the private and public realms, as well as art and writing. The thesis further demonstrates that Desautels' development of an interdisciplinary approach gives rise to a community of the bereaving and enables the poetic subject to distance herself from melancholy in order to foster a new aim toward happiness. It concludes that the mourning process never reaches completion, but is constantly renegotiated.
