ABSTRACT

Shearet al. found that individuals participating in the targeted therapy for complicated grief improved more than those receiving conventional interpersonal psychotherapy. Complicated grief therapy (CGT), as the protocol eventually became known, has been used in multiple studies since its introduction. When bereaved parents attend bereavement support groups that include individuals with a diversity of losses, facilitators must be vigilant to protect these parents from the potential disenfranchisement of individuals with other losses. Bereavement support group leaders must be alert to the presence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) since it frequently accompanies experiences of grief following violent death. Perhaps the most common reason individuals give for wanting to join a bereavement support group is that they feel alone or perceive they have less social support available to them than they would like. Faith communities and religious sponsors of bereavement support groups must walk a particularly fine line in this regard.
