description | This study investigated the occurrence of chronic sorrow among individuals who experienced the death of a loved one. In-depth interviews were conducted with fourteen parents who had experienced the death of a child, ten people who had suffered the death of their spouses, and ten individuals who had had a family member die. Interviews were transcribed and data were sorted into categories, with recurring themes identified. Thirty-three (97 percent) of those interviewed evidenced chronic sorrow. Confronting disparity with social norms and situations that brought memories to mind most frequently triggered recurrence of grief-related feelings. Subjects used action-oriented, cognitive, and interpersonal coping strategies to deal with these episodes of grief. These findings bring into question the expectation inherent in traditional grief theories that emotional closure is a necessary outcome of the grieving process. |
