The current discussion about the status of “complicated grief” as a concept reflects not only a scientific process of validation and justification for a new diagnostic entity, but also a social process of reality construction. It is for this reason that the various professional, scholarly, religious and lay groups that advance competing discourses regarding “normal” and “abnormal” grief can be expected to continue to debate and challenge any given formulation, at least to the extent that pluralism is respected and dialogue is valued
