Historical grief — intergenerational mourning

Grief travels across generations — through epigenetic transmission, through the stories families do and do not tell, through adaptations that traumatized parents pass to their children without knowing they are doing so. The grief of slavery, of genocide, of forced displacement, of colonial rupture does not end with the generation that experienced it directly. This domain examines intergenerational grief with the seriousness the research and the affected communities document.
