Worden also defends his point about the effectiveness of grief counseling with many qualitative research studies (p. 120-122). He gives a list to remind clinicians to better implement interventions.

While each story portrays traditions of two distinct cultures, both deal with the injustices of being an immigrant, and not knowing where you belong.
