Grieving a Drug-Related Death in the Context of One's Own Drug Use
Drug-related deaths (DRDs) are a major societal challenge. People who use drugs are at particular risk of witnessing DRDs, and of losing people close to them to a DRD, and experiencing an overdose or other health issues themselves. People who experience sudden, unexpected, and stigmatized deaths, such as DRDs, are found to struggle more afterward than when the death is more natural and expected. Additionally, people who use drugs are more likely …
My Memories of the Time We Had Together Are More Important
Funerals have long been of interest to social scientists. Previous sociological work has examined the relationship between individuality, belief and tradition within funeral services, founded on the assumption that public rituals have psycho-social benefit for organisers and attendees. With the introduction of direct cremation to the UK, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on funeral service attendance in 2020 and 2021, critique of this assum…
Funeral practices and grief
Does restricting the ceremonial/ritual arrangements around a cremation to a minimum have a negative association with grief over time? This question has increasingly concerned professionals in the funeral industry as well as those in healthcare capacities working with bereaved persons. We examined the relationship between cremation arrangements and levels of grief. Bereaved people in the UK completed questionnaires 2 to 5 months post-loss and a ye…
Cautioning Health-Care Professionals
Science and practice seem deeply stuck in the so-called stage theory of grief. Health-care professionals continue to “prescribe” stages. Basically, this perspective endorses the idea that bereaved people go through a set pattern of specific reactions over time following the death of a loved one. It has frequently been interpreted prescriptively, as a progression that bereaved persons must follow in order to adapt to loss. It is of paramount impor…
Bereavement
Family Matters in Bereavement
The death of a loved one can be heartbreaking for those left behind, and indeed, bereavement is associated not only with adverse health effects but also a higher risk of dying oneself. Not surprisingly, its consequences have been the subject of much psychological enquiry, with a major interest in shedding light on how one adapts, who is most at risk, and why. Often the focus is on the bereaved individual, yet people do not typically grieve in iso…
Guilt in Bereavement
Thirty-four quantitative and 9 qualitative studies are reviewed to indicate current understanding of the nature and impact of guilt in bereavement. This overview suggests that guilt is especially prevalent among some vulnerable subgroups, and it is associated with maladaptive health outcomes. Being male, longer bereavement time, and good end-of life experience seem to be associated with less guilt feelings. However, definition ambiguity, measurem…
The death of a grandparent
The impact on children and adolescents of the death of a grandparent has been little researched, and may be under-estimated. In the western world, grandparents are increasingly likely to be involved in their grandchildren's care, whether for economic, practical or family reasons. Their death may therefore have a profound effect. It may also be the child's first experience in life of the loss of someone significant. This article starts with a shor…
Practitioners and researchers working together in an intervention efficacy study
All too often it is assumed that the differing priorities, values and ethics of practitioners and researchers are irreconcilable. This article describes the long, sometimes difficult and ultimately fruitful process of setting up an evaluation of the efficacy of the bereavement support service offered by Cruse Bereavement Care Scotland (CBCS). CBCS invited researchers from Utrecht University's Centre for Bereavement Research and Intervention to wo…
Challenges in evaluating adult bereavement services
Evaluating the effectiveness of bereavement interventions presents major theoretical, ethical and practical challenges. Based on the extensive research experience of the authors, this article outlines some of the key considerations that must be addressed when seeking to demonstrate the effectiveness of an intervention. These include what methods to use, the recruitment of participants, what to measure to demonstrate effectiveness, adapting measur…
Mediating processes in bereavement
From vulnerability to resilience
Recent decades have seen a shift in the focus of bereavement research from the mental and physical health consequences of bereavement to the exploration of the protective qualities that help people cope with loss. In this paper Margaret Stroebe reviews the literature produced by both camps and concludes that the pendulum may have swung too far. The literature indicates that the vast majority of bereaved people are, indeed, resilient and will cope…
Neuroticism and attachment insecurity as predictors of bereavement outcome
Attachment in Coping with Bereavement
Researchers have deplored shortcomings in theoretically based models of coping with bereavement. Integration of cognitive stress with attachment theory is proposed to predict adjustment to bereavement, describe different forms of effective coping, and resolve ongoing debates about continuing versus relinquishing bonds. These 2 generic approaches are integrated within a bereavement-specific perspective, the dual-process model of coping ( Stroebe &…
To Continue or Relinquish Bonds
This article reviews research on the continuing-breaking bonds controversy. Across the course of the 20th century a shift in theorizing took place from an emphasis on the benefits of breaking bonds to investigation of the presence and usefulness of continuing bonds with a deceased person. These different theoretical formulations are examined and empirical evidence on the (mal)adaptive value of retaining versus relinquishing bonds is assessed. The…
Does ‘grief work’ work
Homesickness among students in two cultures
Review of the theoretical and empirical literature on homesickness showed that despite recent advances, scientific understanding of the impact on students of leaving home for college is still limited. Furtherempirical investigation using standardized measures, structural equation models and including additional mediating/moderating variables is needed. Two studies were thus conducted, one in the Netherlands, and one in the UK. Homesickness was in…

From mourning and melancholia to bereavement and biography
A New Model of Grief has been proposed by Tony Walter (1996). This challenges traditional conceptualizations, which emphasize the working through of emotion during the grieving period and eventual detachment from the deceased. Instead, Walter proposes that grieving serves the purpose of integrating the deceased into ongoing lives, through construction of a durable biography in conversation with other survivors. This novel perspective is explored.…
The role of loneliness and social support in adjustment to loss
A longitudinal study of a matched sample of 60 recently widowed and 60 married men and women tested predictions from stress and attachment theory regarding the role of social support in adjustment to bereavement.Stress theory predicts a buffering effect, attributing the impact of bereavement on well-being to stressful deficits caused by the loss and assuming that these deficits can be compensated through social support.In contrast, attachment the…
Coping with Bereavement
The article challenges the longstanding belief in the importance of “grief work” for adjustment to bereavement (the grief work hypothesis). It examines claims made in theoretical formulations and principles of grief counseling and therapy concerning the necessity of working through loss. Empirical evidence is reviewed, and cross-cultural findings are described to document alternative patterns of coping with grief. It is argued that there are grou…
Hearts and bonds
Responds to criticisms made by H. Peskin (see record 1993-45259-001) of the article by Stroebe et al (see record 1993-05637-001). Stroebe et al assert that their representation of J. Bowlby's (1980) conception of grief as lending itself to a modernist zeitgeist is an accurate one and that Peskin's views are idiosyncratic.

Hearts and bonds
Broken hearts or broken bonds
Psychological theories and practices frequently neglect the extent to which their subject matter is historically and culturally defined. This issue is explored in the context of theories and therapies related to bereavement. Contemporary orientations emphasize the importance of breaking bonds with the deceased and the return of survivors to autonomous lifestyles. Placing the orientation in cultural and historical context reveals that it is largel…
