Abstract	The article is a response to the contributions the special issue of Death Studies on continuing bonds. The contributions indicate that the conversation among scholars has clarified our thinking on how bonds function in individual grief. The author discussed two issues to help keep the conversation moving: (a) the relationship of continuing bonds to the complex we call adjustment to or resolution of grief, and (b) the social and communal nature of continuing bonds. In the first, the author concluded that the hypothesis that continuing bonds either help or hinder grief adjustment too simple to account for the evidence. In the second, he argued that cultural/political narratives are woven into individual grief narratives and if we do not include community, cultural, and political narratives in our understanding of continuing bonds we are in danger building bereavement theory that applies to only a small portion of one population in one historical time.
