Death is one of the rare certainties of life. While rituals surrounding death may vary by geography, culture, and time, suffering the loss of a loved one is a universal experience. However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased global awareness of and proximity to serious illness and death. Since the outbreak of the virus in 2019, hundreds of millions of individuals have been infected and the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been directly implicated in millions of deaths worldwide. Societal changes, related to social distancing requirements and city-wide lockdowns attempting to slow the spread of disease, have made it more difficult for individuals to find support in their grieving process. As a result, those coping with the death of a loved one have often found themselves caring for family members and managing the bereavement process in isolation. Facing daily death tolls and constant efforts to avoid infection has kept death in the forefront of our collective awareness. As a multidisciplinary endeavor, the current volume of Contemporary Perspectives in Family Research includes contributions from a variety of methodologies and contexts to provide a timely exploration of familial responses to illness and death. A rapid increase of global connectedness in recent times has allowed individuals worldwide to connect and share information on an unprecedented scale. As the COVID-19 pandemic stretches on, death continues to be a daily concern that transcends geographic and cultural boundaries. Facing Death: Familial Responses to Illness and Death provides an avenue to analyze, understand, and process death from a variety of perspectives, and we are deeply appreciative of each author who has contributed their time and expertise to this volume. We also want to extend sincere thanks to the members of the editorial board, the external reviewers, and the Emerald Publishing staff for their contributions.

Purpose: In recent decades, it has been a burgeoning trend in South Korea that older women are more actively engaged in grandparenting (i.e., caring for grandchildren) as they are living longer and healthier lives. The present study examines how grandparenting is associated with the mental health of grandmothers. Design/methodology/approach: Drawing from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (2008–2012, N = 2,814), we used growth curve models to estimate the trajectories of grandmothers’ depressive symptoms by grandpar-enting type. Findings: The results show that caregiving grandmothers in multigenerational households experience a decline in depressive symptoms with age, despite having a higher mean level of depressive symptoms than non-caregiving grandmothers at age 47; whereas the non-caregiving grandmothers experience an increase in depressive symptoms with age. Grandmothers who provide non-coresident grandparenting (i.e., babysitting) are not significantly different from non-car-egiving grandmothers in the rate of increase in depressive symptoms. Originality/value: Grandparenting in multigenerational households may have a beneficial effect on older women’s mental health over time in South Korea.

Past studies on housework and marital studies seldom considered the possible endogeneity between these two factors. This chapter analyses data of the Women’s Status Survey 2010 to investigate the association between satisfaction with family status and housework participation in dual-earner married couples in China. The authors examine the association by ordinary least squares (OLS) regression models and structural equation models (SEM), taking into account of time constraints, economic resources and other demographic characteristics. Results suggest that both men and women are less satisfied with their family status if they share more housework than their partners, after controlling for household income, relative economic contribution, educational qualifications and other factors. Moreover, relative housework contribution is associated more consistently and significantly with satisfaction with family status than absolute housework time. In SEM, the authors include a correlated error term between housework time and satisfaction in the models to take endogeneity between these factors into account. For both urban men and women, relative contribution of housework, but not absolute time of housework, is still negatively associated with family status satisfaction.
