The Experience of Bereavement in Sorayya Khan's We Take Our Cities with Us: A Psychosocial Analysis

Abstract

    This study examines the potential for caregiving to enhance an individual's social standing. They inflict suffering under the guise of providing aid to others. Some individuals strive to maintain their strength. Individuals who are inhuman exhibit a lack of emotional warmth. Loss examines the conventional practices of indigenous communities. This research project seeks to shed light on life and human behaviour for interested readers, researchers, and students. Family life can be demanding at times. It is inconceivable to lose loved ones. Sorayya Khan brilliantly portrayed the ugliness of society as well as its greatest difficulties. Her books, novellas, and autobiographies all continue to make an impression. The author's "We Take Our Cities with Us" is a study of grief theory. The story begins by introducing the protagonist, her Dutch mother, and her ancestry. There will be an analysis of the book based on the tenets of anthropology and philosophy.
