“…Studies showed that this ceremonial enlargement in many instances facilitated personal recovery (Eyre, 2007). Danieli (1995) showed that the state's willingness to acknowledge victims of Chile's fascist regime provided a rehabilitative opportunity for them to share their pain and blunt their sense of isolation.…”

Israeli families of terrorist victims have undertaken initiatives to include their dearest in the national pantheon. The objections opposed the penetration of "second-class loss" into the symbolic closure of heroic national bereavement. The "hierarchy of bereavement" is examined through the lens of political culture organized around the veneration held for the army fallen and their families, which has symbolic as well as rehabilitative outcomes. Families of civilian terror victims claims for similar status and treatment had to frame their loss as national in the eyes of the social policy. The article claimed linkage between collective memory and rehabilitation.

“…A body of literature suggests that social solidarity, as a collective feeling of community attachment, counteracts the deleterious effects of stressors by providing emotional resources and encouraging effective coping strategies (e.g., Hawdon, Räsänen, Oksanen, and Ryan 2012). Several studies show how social solidarity increases after tragic critical incidents such as heinous crimes, natural disasters, or other mass tragedies (e.g., Eyre 2007;Hawdon, Ryan, and Agnich 2010;Turkel 2002).…”

“…The emergence of roadside memorials (Reid ; Gibson ), spontaneous memorials (Haney and others ; Doss ), hurricane graffiti (Alderman and Ward ), and informal flood markers (McEwen and others 2012) have all been documented during the short‐term recovery. Rather than serve future growth or development, these grassroots commemorations perform three distinct, interlocking functions: grief work, communication, and community formation (Eyre ).…”

The postdisaster landscape is replete with memorials that help communities collectively remember destructive events and recover psychologically. Although commemoration is intrinsic to all stages of recovery, little research from the disaster‐science field engages memorial texts across disasters. Meanwhile, a rich body of work on memorials and their functions exists in the cultural geographic tradition. Drawing from this literature, the current study examines a sample of U.S.‐based memorials to discern patterns within the postdisaster commemorative landscape. This research leverages discourse analysis to interrogate the meanings and mechanics of postdisaster memory work. Findings revealing that disasters catalyze remembrances that remake places, postdisaster memorial texts construct wide‐ranging degrees of intimacy, and memorials distilling survivor memories impel community recovery differently than memorials that reconstruct imagined pasts. These identified patterns in postdisaster commemoration enable further systematic exploration of memory work in the long‐term recovery process.
