As the field of pastoral theology continues to explore concerns rooted in issues surrounding gender, race, and class, there is a growing awareness of the constraints traditional paradigms of understanding grief have placed on marginalized persons and groups. This project attempts to highlight one such area by considering the unique needs of low-income, urban men in their experiences with grief.
Consideration is given to issues of both gender and class, paying particular attention to the field of literature emerging around men and especially mens grief, as well as that which is given to working-class and low-income persons.
A second point of focus is aimed at developing a composite sketch of experiences drawn from previously published field research and personal interviews.
Finally, implications for the discipline of pastoral theology are addressed in an attempt to offer suggestions for more exhaustive studies in this particular portion of the larger pastoral theological field.
