The purpose of this longitudinal pilot study was to assess the extent of unresolved grief in bereaved individuals attending two programs offered by St. Mary's Hospice, to assess their spiritual perspectives, and to describe the relationship between them. The differences in individuals attending the programs at two time periods were also examined. Fifty-six individuals completed two questionnaires at Time 1 and forty-two individuals completed the same questionnaires three months later. The results indicated that these individuals manifested initial reactions to the death and that these reactions were somewhat lessened three months later. Participants who expressed some belief in a spiritual perspective used this to assist them in their bereavement. That the programs were of benefit to the participants were evident by their comment
