We do not hold funerals for living people, and yet we experience profound and complicated grief over them - an ambiguous grief because it can be unclear where death begins and when grief becomes appropriate.

CONT

Le deuil blanc est celui que l'on fait d'une personne qui n'est pas morte, mais qui, peu à peu, perd ses capacités humaines. Elle est physiquement présente, mais mentalement et affectivement coupée de ses capacités antérieures.
