Facilitating grief : an exploration of the function of funerals and rituals in relation to grief reactions

Article

MITIMA-VERLOOP, Huibertha B. | MOOREN, Trudy T. M. | BOELEN, Paul A.

The loss of a loved one through death is usually followed by a funeral and engagement in various grief rituals. We examined the association between the evaluation of the funeral, the use of grief rituals and grief reactions. Bereaved individuals from the Netherlands completed questionnaires, six months and three years post-loss (n = 552/289). Although the funeral and rituals were considered helpful, no significant association between evaluation of the funeral and usage of grief rituals and grief reactions was found. More insight in the engagement in rituals will ultimately serve bereaved individuals to cope with loss.
