ABSTRACT
This chapter analyzes the different religious interpretative frameworks that students used to understand various death situations. Some students relied on a strictly religious interpretative framework for making sense of death, while other students opted for religious explanations in specific contexts only. Other students were committed to a strictly scientific interpretative framework. Still, other students relied on a blended interpretative framework that combined religious and scientific explanations. Chapter 8 concludes by highlighting religion as a resiliency resource but underscores how religious coping styles are not at all equal and that different religious coping styles may or may not yield constructive or healthy outcomes.
