Death on Facebook
Although research has highlighted potential benefits social media sites present for the bereaved (Carroll & Landry, 2010; Sanderson & Cheong, 2010), there is also the potential for problematic effects (Kern, Forman, & Gil-Egui, 2013). This study examines the ways in which the social networking site Facebook was helpful and unhelpful to participants ( N = 265) when someone they knew died. Analysis of 454 thought units revealed three themes describ…
Creating Philanthropic Foundations to Deal With Grief
The current study involves the analysis of six bereaved parents' stories and argues that the development of philanthropic foundations helped these parents make meaning of their children's deaths and find purpose in the midst of their grief. Furthermore, philanthropy, as a way of making meaning and finding purpose, is a mutually beneficial process because it helps both the bereaved founders and the communities the organizations reach. Connections …
Qualitative research interviews
This essay explores a question crucial to the role of qualitative researchers: Is there therapeutic value in the research interview process? I use interviewees' responses to participating in in-depth interviews, along with a discussion of theoretical and empirical research, to build and evidence an argument that the qualitative research interview (QRI) process can be therapeutic and should be acknowledged as such. Challenges to researchers and id…

Wartime deployment involves prolonged separation and creates uncertainty, fear, and disorganization in families (M. J. Peebles‐Kleiger & J. H. Kleiger, 1994). This study examined how military wives/fiancées reported coping with the demands they associated with spousal deployment. Twenty‐six in‐depth interviews were conducted with wives and fiancées whose partners were currently deployed. Through qualitative analysis, 2 main coping themes emerged:…
A qualitative analysis of on-again/off-again romantic relationships
Although relational research predominantly conceptualizes romantic relationships as either together or apart, some relationships break up and renew (i.e., on-again/off-again relationships). Partners' accounts of on-again/off-again relational experiences were qualitatively analyzed to explore both reasons for breakups and reasons for renewals. Themes were interpreted within an interdependence framework to explain why partners dissolved as well as …
