Abstract

This is a dissertation on death, grief, and the communication styles of African American males after the loss of a loved one. It will speak to the limited amount of literature reviews surrounding death, culture, race, gender, and the social determent of death. This dissertation will issue a summation of the limitations of older studies and how to fill the need to conduct newer studies. This dissertation offers suggestions on the need to encourage future researchers to take up the mantle and use their lived experiences on death, grief counseling, mental health counseling, and how spiritual counseling can be used to change the narrative and offer help to those African American males looking for grief counseling support.
