Know about the book -

On Freud's Mourning and Melancholia is written by Thierry Bokanowski and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0429916841 (ISBN 10) and 9780429916847 (ISBN 13).

Both melancholia and mourning are triggered by the same thing, that is, by loss. The distinction often made is that mourning occurs after the death of a loved one while in melancholia the object of love does not qualify as irretrievably lost.
