Meaning of "incomplete" #1 (permalink) Mon Nov 06, 2006 4:04 am   Meaning of "incomplete"		  
"Once he had emerged from depression, Styron traced the source of his pain to incomplete mourning of his mother's death ... "

Does this "incomplete" mean that he hasn't overcome the sadness?

"incomplete mourning" means he hasn't finished mourning his mother's death; he hasn't mourned it enough.
