▼ The purpose of this study was to comprehend and illustrate what bereaved widows
experienced during their grieving and bereavement process. It succinctly and
poignantly intended to investigate the psyche of the bereaved person and understand
what it really meant to lose a spouse.
The grieving process poses a range of unique daily challenges for anyone who has lost
a spouse. The widowed in this research were all distinctly faced with different
experiences, occurrences and responses to their everyday predicaments. This study
therefore endeavoured to delve beyond the intricacies and complexities of death and
had intensely explored the psyche of the bereaved person in order to understand what it
actually meant to lose a spouse.
The sample consisted of 12 recently bereaved widows in an old age home and a
comparative group of 12 widows living with their relatives. A qualitative study was
employed to gain insight into the experiences of the recently bereaved . The results
gave insight into the emotions experienced and coping mechanisms of the bereaved .
The results indicated the multirole phenomenon which bereavement placed on the
widowed , which , depending on the ability and desire to compensate for their new
conflicting demands, as well as their responsibilities that had prevailed and how they
had to come to terms with their depressing and disheartening challenges. Those results
profoundly influenced the veracity of their grief reaction.
It is therefore that based on this study, assistance and support can be mobilised by the
South African Government who could provide the stanchion for more trained
professionals and counselors to assist with the behavioural and cognitive challenges
that consequences from the passing away of a spouse.

▼ Good Grief is a novel that follows one family as they move through the five stages of grief. The purpose of the creative work is to focus on the complicated relationships of a blended family, and further complicate that with the added pressure of mourning a loved one, while still fulfilling familial and societal obligations. It is a meditation on the different ways people handle emotional trauma. Grief is a universal concept, but often mistreated or misunderstood. Grief, as a process, takes several different forms, some of which—expressing pain through joviality or sensuality—are shrouded in shame. My thesis challenges the notion of normative coping behaviors, while also telling an engaging and emotionally evocative story about one family with a convoluted lineage and even more complex relationships to each other. Good Grief follows a five-stage model of grief; it leads with denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally ends with acceptance. The novel is split into five sections with each one focusing on a different family member. Each character in this work expresses his or her individualized way of grieving by embodying one of the five stages. This allows me to deeply investigate the intricate nature of grief and how it is further complicated by each member’s gender, age, and relationship to the deceased.

▼ Background: Perinatal grief, which affects parents whose babies die during pregnancy or within a year after birth, has been shown to lead to severe morbidity and, in some cases, mortality. Despite the assertion that all these parents are susceptible to developing complicated grief because of the nature of their loss, there has been little evidence to support this. However, some variables which may predict the likelihood of these bereaved mothers having unremitting, intense grief have previously been identified, including: maternal age, education, marital status, occupational status, other losses and the presence of living children.
Objective: The present studies assessed perinatal grief and the impact of these variables on the risk of developing complicated grief using self-reported data in two separate samples of perinatally bereaved mothers (N = 121) and (N = 146) up to five years after their loss. In Study 2 other psychopathological symptoms, including: depression, anxiety, stress and post-traumatic stress were also assessed.
Results: Contrary to expectations, findings indicated that the proportion of these mothers who experienced complicated grief, 12.5% in Study 1 and 18% in Study 2, was similar to other populations of grievers. In both studies those variables that had been suggested as indicative of higher risk for developing psychopathology were not supported except for the absence/presence of other children.
Conclusion: Perinatally bereaved mothers report clinically significant symptoms of complicated grief as well as other psychopathology such as depression, anxiety, stress and post-traumatic stress at levels similar to other populations of grievers. The symptomology of these mothers should be routinely monitored to assess need for referral for treatment when indicated. Limitations, such as the convenience samples of participants and strengths, such as, quantitative design of the study, are addressed and implications are outlined.

▼ This thesis examines the role of expectation of death, attachment orientation, and relational uncertainty in bereavement coping responses in romantic relationships. The current study posits that the degree to which loss is anticipated and the attachment orientation of the bereaved impact cognitive appraisals of loss. Additionally, attachment orientation is predicted to impact sources of relational uncertainty and communicative responses to loss in the bereaved. One hundred and five bereaved participants recruited from the University of Georgia completed a questionnaire, measuring the following variables: expectation of death, appraisal of loss, self and partner uncertainty, and coping responses. In total, the results of this investigation suggested that the expectation of death and attachment orientation influence appraisals of loss. Results also supported the contention that attachment orientation impacts sources of uncertainty and communicative responses to loss. These results are interpreted as offering support for a nuanced model of communication among bereaved individuals and romantic partners. Limitations of this thesis are addressed, as are the implications and directions for future research.

▼ This project was a collaborative effort and both researchers brought unique perspectives, ideas, and strengths to the forefront of this project. Both researchers were responsible for conducting surveys, collecting literature, and creating the project. The Childhood Traumatic
Grief Group (CTG) Work Curriculum for Children and Teens is intended for use with those that have recently experienced the death of a loved one and are suffering from symptoms of
grief and trauma. CTG is a relatively new topic, so this study was exploratory in nature. Information was gathered from texts, professional journals, art therapy curriculums, and professional interviews as well as the writer???s personal experiences working with grieving children. Implications for social work and recommendations for future
grief curriculums are also discussed.

▼ Modern medicine in Western Society has in part alienated people to the process of dying. We obviously benefit from modern medicine, with the prospect of prolonged life and reduced suffering. However, the medicalization of death also provides ideal conditions under which we can wall away hard truths; this can set up a pernicious cycle of death-avoidance and denial. Denying death can prevent the opportunity of a good death, one in which both the patient and the bereaved cope with the undeniable. This paper explores how visual arts practices provide the bereaved with opportunities to process their grief and how this act subverts the dominant Western view to deny death. Further, this paper analyses how through contributing to the discourse surrounding death, artists provide the opportunity to strengthen social ties and partially reclaim death.

▼ The purpose of this qualitative research study was to gain an understanding of parental
grief experiences within the context of an early hearing detection and intervention program and to examine parents’ perception of the professional support they received. Through focus group interviews, eight mothers and seven fathers, whose infants were diagnosed with a hearing loss at birth through a universal newborn hearing screening and who were confronted immediately with a health care system necessitating decisions about early intervention, were invited to share their emotional journey and their experiences of being supported. Parents shared emotions associated with
grief and processing
grief, their emotional and informational needs, and what influenced their decision making process. Differences between spouses were also examined.
The findings are presented through three central themes. The first theme revealed that
grief was a part of parents’ emotional journey. Specifically parents shared feelings of
grief related to the loss of what they had anticipated, and mothers shared feelings of loss associated with their anticipated experience of motherhood. The
grief experience was different for mothers and fathers. The second theme revealed that as parents processed their
grief, they experienced a paradox of emotionally moving forward and staying in place. Parents shared feelings of happiness and joy when they spoke about their children yet they also shared experiences that reflected a continuance of grieving. The final theme indicated the ways in which parents discussed being emotionally supported and the differences in support needs between husbands and wives.
The discussion of these themes addressed the paradoxes that existed and the notion that parents were uncomfortable living with these paradoxes. Implications for professionals who support parents throughout their EHDI program experience were also described, including the provision of information and how that information impacts parents’ need for emotional support. The implication that professionals must provide parents the space to feel their emotions related to
grief was also explored.

▼ This randomized controlled trial evaluated the efficacy of complicated grief grouptherapy (CGGT) in the treatment of older adults meeting clinical criteria for complicatedgrief, as compared to a sample of older adults receiving modified grief support grouptreatmentas usual (TAU). The CGGT intervention was an adaptation of complicatedgrief therapy administered as group therapy. A total of 39 participants were randomlyassigned to conditions. Twenty-six participants completed the 16 week intervention;CGGT n = 12, TAU n = 14. Primary outcome measures included the Prolonged GriefDisorder Scale (PG-13), the Brief Grief Questionnaire (BGQ), and the Clinical GlobalImpressions Scale (CGI). Participants who received CGGT demonstrated highertreatment response than participants receiving TAU. While participants in both groupsshowed improvement in measures of complicated grief, participants in the CGGT grouprealized significantly greater improvement. More importantly, when complicated griefwas measured on PG-13, nearly half of CGGT participants realized clinically significantimprovement. On the BGQ , all 12 of the CGGT completers had scores upon follow-upthat, had they scored at that level at pretest, would have disqualified them for studyenrollment. This high level of clinical significance suggests that those in the CGGTgroup were effectively treated for complicated grief. This study offers evidence thatCGGT holds promise for treatment of complicated grief in older adults and merits furtherinquiry in other populations.

▼ Music Therapy
The purpose of the current study was to test the effects of participation in a treatment grief choir vs. standard care grief group (verbal) on bereaved persons’ perceived grief, coping, energy, social support and health and to examine the experiences of those participating in both groups. In this mixed-methods study, the results from the qualitative phenomenological focus groups were used for explaining and interpreting the findings of the Randomized Control Trial (RCT). Within the RCT, five people completed the treatment grief choir and four completed the standard care grief group (N=9). A repeated-measures ANOVA was employed to detect any statistical significance among the adult grievers. A significant within-subjects effect was found in both groups for the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) start-of-session grief, NRS end-of- session grief, Hogan Grief Reaction Checklist (HGRC), and NRS end-of-session coping measures. These results indicate that both groups showed significant improvement over time in these areas. A between-subjects effect was found for the NRS end-of-session grief and for the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) with the standard care grief group scoring significantly better over time than the treatment grief choir. Finally, one interaction effect was found for the NRS end-of-session health scores at week sixteen, with a significant gain for the standard care grief group. For the qualitative portion of this study, five members of the treatment grief choir and three of the four members from the standard care grief group participated in separate focus group interviews. A seventeen-step analysis of the interview data was employed to discover meaningful descriptions and experiences while maintaining validity and integrity of the process. The following categories emerged from the analysis of the treatment grief choir interview: The Grief Choir Did Help; Songs were Important in Grief; Making Musical Connections Helped; Interactions with Grievers were Valued; The Music Therapists Influenced the Experience; and Gained Insights about Grief. The following categories emerged from the standard care grief group: Standard Care Did Help; Timing and Composition of Group Mattered; Standard Care was a Complex Experience; and The Experience of Being in Research. Recommendations for future grief choirs and standard care grief groups are discussed.

▼ This thesis is an exploration of the
grief that pet owners experience resulting from the death of pet with attention towards complicated
grief. The first study involved a content analysis of 75 call notes recorded by volunteers of the Ontario Veterinary College Guelph Pet Loss Support Hotline following contact with bereaved pet owners from 2011 to 2012. Themes included; personal narrative, the
grief experience, perceived social support; positive and negative emotions, callers’ relationship with their pet, memorialization, coping methods, difficulty with euthanasia, and interaction with veterinary staff. The second study, a retrospective cross-sectional survey of 681 Canadian pet owners identified factors associated with complicated
grief. Results indicate that individuals with low perceived social support and an anxious style of attachment with their pet are more likely to experience complicated
grief following the death of their pet. Thesis findings enhance the understanding of factors associated with
grief and complicated
grief.

▼ A primary aim of bereavement research is to alleviate suffering and promote well-being at the junction of life and death for the survivor in an attachment relationship. Bereavement research in the last decade has focused primarily on examining
grief recovery within the context of intrapersonal processes. This emphasis has often ignored peer, family, and cultural influences on adjustment to loss. As a result, targeted
grief interventions have largely been limited to adaptive and maladaptive factors within the individual. Evidence from recent research suggests the importance of taking into account contextual factors within the social environment that have bidirectional influences on the individual, and function as potential deficits or resources for
grief recovery over time. Thus, a comprehensive framework for the simultaneous consideration of person-environment transactions, rather than just a strict emphasis on intrapersonal processes, is essential to advancing the current understanding of
grief recovery. To address this gap, this study presents a bioecological model of
grief recovery with the addition of a 'loss system' level of
influence – capturing characteristics of the deceased, circumstances of the death, and the relationship between the bereaved and the deceased prior to the death – to simultaneously account for the person- and environment-level systems of influence. The implications of this theoretical model are described for two different types of loss: death of spouse in older adults and death of a child.
To move this model from theory to real-world application, the viability of the model was tested by empirically contrasting it with an individual-level (intrapersonal) model of
grief recovery as applied to spousal bereavement in later life. An archived longitudinal data set (the Changing Lives of Older Couples data) was the basis for growth curve models examining the trajectory of
grief several years after death of spouse. The individual-level model focused on the intrapersonal predictors known to influence
grief recovery, while the bioecological model included the same intrapersonal predictors as well as loss system predictors. In sum, the analyses provided evidence that having relatively high levels of death acceptance and religiosity prior to the death of a spouse is associated with improved psychological health in the early stages of widowhood. Although the bioecological growth curve model did not evidence a better fit than the individual model in this study, it remains a useful framework accounting for a broader range of influences, with the loss system as a key to advancing bereavement research. Moreover, psychological adjustment to the death of a loved one is merely one type of life event that can be understood using this model of
grief recovery.
Although the theoretical and empirical models presented here represent only a limited approximation of the more complex phenomena of a human reaction when a spouse dies, it provides a new, more comprehensive framework for understanding
grief and how it

▼ Though much of the recent focus in bereavement literature has been examining the nature and correlates of complicated
grief, it is important to recognize that many older adults endure bereavements without major disruptions in emotional and daily functioning, despite the likelihood of having experienced numerous losses over a lifetime. This suggests an adaptive or resilient coping style within the context of late-life bereavement. However, much less is known about the underlying mechanisms and correlates that contribute to different bereavement outcomes. Broadly, the aim of this project was to expand our current knowledge of varying bereavement-related outcomes in an effort to enrich the current conceptualization of late-life bereavement. The current study investigated the relationships between cumulative lifetime loss, engagement in resilience-related coping/emotions-regulation strategies (affective complexity, positive emotions, and repressive coping), and resilient and non-resilient bereavement outcomes. A total of 74 recently bereaved, community-dwelling older adults completed study questionnaires assessing a variety of bereavement-related variables, including depression history; history of loss; retrospective affect; current experiences of
grief, depression, anxiety, and well-being; and social and emotional functioning. Results revealed that cumulative lifetime loss was largely unrelated to bereavement-related outcomes. However, engagement in positive affect one month post-loss and the absence of a depression history were strongly associated with the following resilient bereavement outcomes: lower post-loss depression and
grief and unimpaired social and emotional functioning. Although considering an individual's prior experience in coping with loss is an important aspect of the broader conceptualization of his/her current bereavement experience, the results suggest that other factors, such as psychiatric history and emotional engagement, may be more strongly related to resilient outcomes, provide implications for
grief-related assessment and help discern who may benefit from
grief interventions. In light of some of the methodological issues of this project (i.e. reliance on participants’ retrospective report of affect), suggestions for future research involve using a prospective and longitudinal study designs that allows researchers to capture
grief reactions as they unfold in an effort to minimize biased recall and examine the effects of co-occurring stressors on the
grief process. Future research can also examine the relationships between cumulative impact of having experienced multiple bereavements, lessons learned/wisdom gained in the context of coping with multiple losses, and bereavement outcome.

▼ The interplay between approach and avoidance in the bereavement process is central to conceptual models of complicated
grief (CG), a persistent and unremitting form of acute
grief. Oscillation between these motivation systems is thought to maintain maladaptive cognitive and behavioral patterns, prolonging the acute
grief experience. Neuroimaging studies implicate known reward-related brain regions and associated neurochemical processes associated with CG. This study investigates these processes through: 1) the behavioral Approach Avoid Task (AAT), 2) fMRI, and 3) neuropharmacological manipulation via intranasal oxytocin (INT OT) administration. Method: A mixed sample of 37 spousally-bereaved older adults (CG =17; ncomplicated
grief (NCG) = 20), completed the AAT, with 3 stimulus categories (spouse, stranger, and generic
grief) during fMRI acquisition under two conditions (placebo and INT OT). Results: In a 2(group) x 2(condition) x 3(stimulus type) analysis, behavioral results indicate both groups showed a relative approach bias to spouse images. When viewing a spouse (vs. a stranger), those with CG showed increased activation in right inferior frontal gyrus, the precuneus, and right superior temporal sulcus (STS). During INT OT, the CG group uniquely demonstrated slowed reaction time across all stimulus types. The NCG group during INT OT showed increased activation in the superior temporal sulcus (STS) and right inferior frontal gyrus, relative to the CG group/placebo condition. Discussion: Areas associated with self-referential processing (precuneus) face processing (STS) and response inhibition/facial recognition (inferior frontal gyrus), but not reward, were associated with AAT performance. The social salience model may explain the differential effect of OT on CG. In all, the relative approach bias for idiographic
grief stimuli holds implication for characterization and treatment of the dual motivation processes in
grief.

▼ Professionals, such as nurses, that provide care may experience a negative impact on both their personal and professional lives due to grief. Grief is the emotional response of a person who has invested emotionally in someone or something and then loses that person or thing. Variations in intensity and duration of grief may occur as oncology nurses care for patients for extended periods of time, sometimes from diagnosis to death. The experience of this extended relationship makes oncology nurses particularly susceptible. This study seeks to examine oncology nurses’ grief through a qualitative meta-analysis. The many terms associated with the concept of nurses’ grief were analyzed with the goal of obtaining a more comprehensive understanding of these terms as well as presentation of what was found to be the most suitable concept and a supporting definition.

▼ This thesis explores how the ancient Near Eastern Book of Lamentations can be read and interpreted cross-culturally today, so that the reader stays with the structure of the text but also listens to the spontaneity of cries from a bereft and humiliated people as they grapple with grief. The first part sets the scene and develops a hermeneutical model: a double-stranded helix, which demonstrates the tensions between the textual form and psychological content of Lamentations 1-5. The two strands are connected by three cross-strands, which representat frameworks, cries and metaphorical images introduced by the opening stanza of each lyric. In the second part, the model becomes the basis for an examination of the frameworks of the Lamentation lyrics and of psychological grief, which together demonstrate how regular patterns are difficult to maintain without interuuption, so an analysis of the translation of cries of lament shows how strong feeling of emotion become audible or are silenced as they break through the containment of traditional borders and structures. In the third part motifs already introduced by the forms of frameworks and the sounds of cries are developed further, through metaphotical imagery. Through this fresh approach each poem becomes a new venture by means of stance, voice, and dynamic movement, as communities of men, women and children develop coping strategies for feelings of grief.

▼ This thesis identifies ‘imprisoned grief’ as a new phenomenon. The Living with Loss project was a theological, spiritual and practical response to it co-constructed by the research participants and myself as the practitioner-researcher. The project ran from 2008-2011 at both HMP Kirkham and HMP Whitemoor. My initial findings highlighted the fact that ‘disenfranchised grief’ (Doka 1989) and ‘self-disenfranchised grief’ (Doka 2002) were inadequate descriptions of what I uncovered in my research. Doka himself (2002, p18) called for further research to be carried out in particular circumstances including prison, encouraging my own confidence in the importance of such research. ‘Disenfranchised grief’ is a condition which people feel when unable to access support from family, friends, religious and professional organisations in living with issues of grief and loss. It is exhibited by prisoners where the acute loss of family, relationships, home, employment, finance, education and ability to parent come together. Issues of loss and bereavement accumulate when a parent or other family members becomes terminally ill or dies during their imprisonment. ‘Self-disenfranchised grief’ is a self- initiated form of disenfranchised grief where the self will not allow grieving to take place. I consider that neither description fully explains the condition I encountered, which I have called ‘imprisoned grief.’ Imprisoned grief is distinctive because it manifests itself due to the loss of freedom brought about by imprisonment; during anticipatory grieving whilst in prison; following bereavement in prison and loss acts as a factor in criminal behaviour which include loss due to homicide. My research offers spiritual, theological and practically distinctive coping strategies and insights into how imprisoned grief can be ‘unlocked’ and prisoners can feel liberated from it. Enfranchisement was established between family members by sharing feelings and emotions in group work and through the composition of and facilitation of faith rituals. I argue that it was their beliefs and spirituality which sustained, combated and freed them from ‘imprisoned grief’.

▼ This dissertation examines the relation between emotional functioning and meaning making in bereavement. Emotional functioning (i.e., awareness, expression, and regulation of emotions) has been traditionally considered crucial in
grief coping (Pennebaker, 1990; Raphael, 1983). At the same time, bereaved people who were able to find a meaning in their loss experience were found to show better adjustment and were less likely to develop
grief complications than those who did not find a meaning (Davis, Wortman, Lehman, & Silver, 2000; Tolstikova, Fleming, & Chartier, 2005). The present research aimed to build a more inclusive model of
grief coping by examining the interplay of emotional functioning and meaning making in
grief in the same sample of people. The emotionally focused approach to human functioning developed by L. Greenberg (Greenberg, 2004) forms the theoretical foundation for the study. This approach proposes that emotional arousal, awareness, expression, and regulation provide grounds for meaning construction and eventually help to assimilate a shattering event. Following Greenberg’s conceptualization (Greenberg, Auszura, & Herrmann, 2007), the first set of studies of the present dissertation examined productive and unproductive emotional functioning in
grief. Three hundred and fifteen bereaved people were recruited through the online bereavement support websites to help develop and validate the Productive-Unproductive Emotional Processing in
Grief questionnaire (PUG). The PUG scores were further used to predict meaning making in
grief. It was shown that bereaved individuals who were engaged in productive emotional processing of
grief and demonstrated good emotional regulation were more capable of making sense of their loss six months later.
The data for the first set of studies were collected via the Internet. While the Internet method of data collection has been previously used in
grief research, its validity and reliability had not been assessed. Thus, Study 4 of the present dissertation reviewed the use of the Internet in bereavement research and examined the reliability and validity of online data collection. The demographic characteristics and
grief scores of the Internet participants were compared to those completed by traditional paper-and-pencil method. The study demonstrated that the online survey results were comparable to the traditional paper-and-pencil survey method.

▼ Premature and ill infants are admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICU) for specialized medical and nursing care. Infants admitted to NICUs require the use of life sustaining technology and care from a multidisciplinary health care team. While in hospital, an infant’s prognosis and expected outcomes can dramatically change. Depending on the circumstances of their infant’s health, parents may choose to withdraw life sustaining treatment, or alternatively, face a future reality with the potential of long-term impact related to their infant’s diagnosis. Parents with an infant in the NICU experience many different types of losses which can generate a grief response. The purpose of this thesis is to explore parental loss and grief in the NICU. A systematic review of qualitative evidence modelled on the Joanna Briggs Institute method (2014) was completed. This approach included a systematic and rigorous approach to the searching, critical appraisal, and aggregation procedures. Four databases (CINAHL, Medline, PsycINFO, Nursing and Allied Health) were systematically searched using pre-identified search criteria. Two reviewers were involved in the search and screening, and three additional reviewers were used to identify included articles. This search process resulted in five studies being included in the review. Five themes were identified from the original research studies: support, not knowing what to expect, hospital practices, communication, and coming through grief. The results of this systematic review of qualitative evidence demonstrate that loss and grief have been described by parents in the NICU, both in the presence and absence of neonatal death.

▼ b o y is an extended lyric poem/essay that uses repetition, fragment, and syntax to continually build a form that continually falls apart. The poem is both a meditation and an investigation into loss, and into the relationship of loss to identity, with making a poem, and with holding on to something.
What does mourning look like and how does it change as it accrues? How is mourning inherited? This work does not claim release; it reenvisions or argues against narratives that insist that the end of great loss is to "let go," "set free" or "rest."

▼ Entrepreneurship literature has long focused on stories of entrepreneurial success. However, in recent years consensus has begun to build around the importance of also studying failure in order to develop a more holistic understanding of entrepreneurship. It has been argued that failure can have an impact on entrepreneurial decision-making in subsequent ventures and can be a difficult experience for an entrepreneur to go through. In spite of such speculations and acknowledgements, failure remains a relatively underresearched area, except perhaps from the primary perspective of the reasons behind failure. While this is an important area of investigation − as understanding reasons behind failure can improve the probability of success in subsequent entrepreneurial endeavours – it is equally important to understand the experience of failure. The primary aim of this thesis is to understand failure from the perspective of entrepreneurs who have experienced it. Its second aim is to build a theoretical framework of failure based on those experiences.
The overarching research question for this study is: “How do entrepreneurs experience venture failure and learn from this experience?” The three supporting subquestions are: “What do entrepreneurs experience when their venture fails?”, “How do entrepreneurs stay resilient when the venture fails?”, and “What do the entrepreneurs learn from experiencing venture failure?” Using the philosophical position of interpretive, phenomenological symbolic interactionism and narrative as a strategy of inquiry, stories of failure as told by 21 entrepreneurs during in-depth interviews are analysed. Using the metaphor of fabric tear and repair, theoretical constructs developed from the findings are integrated into a framework and discussed in the light of relevant literature. The framework highlights that failure leads to considerable challenges for the entrepreneurs and triggers
grief. After
grief, however, comes resilience. In this journey, resilience came from acceptance and hope, states that shifted the entrepreneurs’ perspective on venture failure from one which saw it as a negative, end-all event to one that framed it as a challenging, survivable event. This resilience fuelled their efforts to adapt to their changed reality.
Grief faded as entrepreneurs dealt with the challenges. From this experience, the entrepreneurs learnt business lessons and transformed in such a way as to become more spiritually inclined.
The study extends the understanding of the phenomenon of failure in entrepreneurship by presenting an empirical evidence-based framework that incorporates failure-related challenges, entrepreneurs’ adaptation to these challenges, and the lessons learnt from this experience. Second, this study illustrates the importance of hope and acceptance in building entrepreneurial resilience, and how entrepreneurs’ social environment and sometimes spiritual beliefs play an important role in nurturing hope and an acceptance of adapting to the challenges.

▼ M.Ed. (Educational Psychology)
There is a dire need within the South African context for psychological interventions (Landsberg, Kruger & Nel, 2005). Keeping this in mind, group interventions may prove to be a most beneficial and effective choice as it provides the opportunity to address several individuals systematically and simultaneously (Babbie, 2011). Smaller groups provide an opportunity of learning from others and the comfort of knowing that you are not alone. I was therefore interested in exploring cognitively challenged children’s response to puppet theatre addressing grief, within a group intervention. The theoretical framework employed in this study is the socio-cultural framework. Based on the work of Lev Vygotsky, which deals with the concept that the cognitive development of a child depends upon his/her response to the influences of the culture and society he/she is born in (Berk, 1997). His observation was that the social interaction brings about a gradual change in the way a child thinks, feels and behaves and this is variable from one culture to another. I take these views of knowledge being actively and continuously constructed and reconstructed with the impact and influence of social environments (Donald, Lazarus & Lolwana, 2010) in order to explore the collaborative understanding of grief. The aim of this study was to explore cognitively challenged children’s response to puppet theatre addressing grief, within a group intervention. Puppet theatre presented an opportunity to work with children through ‘play’, thus forming an alliance with the children in a non-threatening manner (Granot, 2005). With the focus being on the puppets, not on the children, their responses to grief was observed and resulted in group discussions. As Glăveanu (2010) points out, creative acts are simultaneously forms of externalisation and cultural expression. Malchiodi (1998), stresses the importance of considering developmental delays, especially with the cognitively impaired, when working creatively with children. The research followed a phenomenological research design through purposive sampling of seven children from a Gauteng (South Africa) school for children with cognitive challenges. Data was collected through the means of unstructured group interviews and observations. In observing their experiences with puppet theatre in a group intervention, the aim was to explore their responses and understanding of grief. Narrative analysis of the data collected provided themes to guide my findings. The study found that group intervention did prove useful with creating awareness amongst the cognitively challenged participants by allowing them to connect with their emotions. Puppet theatre also proved effective in externalizing cognitively challenged children’s exploration of grief. Through the emergence of this research communities will be better informed to the value of group intervention and the advantages of puppet theatre with cognitively challenged children.

▼ The current study investigated the nature of anticipatory
grief in a sample of dementia caregivers, and examined the relationship between anticipatory
grief and caregiver burden. Anticipatory
grief can be described as one's reaction to the impending death of a loved one, in addition to responses to other previously endured, ongoing, and anticipated losses. Interest in anticipatory
grief has been inconsistent, and has typically focused on terminal diseases such as cancer. However, the issues involved in anticipatory
grief are unique in the context of dementia due to the progressive deterioration of both cognitive and physical abilities. A total of 80 informal caregivers of individuals with dementia completed interviews and questionnaires assessing his or her experience of
grief, physical and mental health, aspects of the caregiving situation, and the severity of patient impairment. Results reveal that anticipatory
grief is strongly related to burden and its correlates, including depression, well-being, social support, and behavior problems in the care recipient. Anticipatory
grief is shown to be a significant and independent predictor of caregiver burden in this sample, beyond the effects of known predictors such as background characteristics, primary stressors, and depressive symptoms. The current results suggest that
grief may be an important yet understudied aspect of the caregiving experience. The nature of anticipatory
grief in dementia caregivers is described, and recommendations for future research directions, including longitudinal examination of anticipatory
grief, are provided.

▼ Research suggests that graduate students in counseling
and beginning counselors rate
grief and death-related topics as
those with which they are most uncomfortable (Kirchberg &
Neimeyer, 1991; Kirchberg, Neimeyer, & James, 1998). Yet,
historically, little training has been provided to students in the
area of
grief counseling (Allen & Miller, 1998; Ober, Granello,
& Wheaton, 2012; Stephenson, 1981). This is concerning given
that research also suggests professional training and experience is
a strong predictor of perceived
grief counseling competencies in
helping professionals (Charkow, 2002; Ober et al., 2012).This study
explored
grief counseling training and competencies with master’s
level counseling students in the field experience part of their
training. The
Grief Counseling Experience and Training Survey
(GCETS) was used to assess professional training and experience
with
grief and the Death Counseling Survey (DCS) and its five
subscales (Personal Competencies, Conceptual Skills/Knowledge,
Assessment Skills, Treatment Skills, and Professional Skills) were
used to assess perceived
grief counseling competencies.Descriptive
information revealed participants lacked
grief counseling training,
despite nearly three-fourths of them having already worked with
grieving clients. Further, respondents rated themselves as
competent on general counseling skills related to
grief (e.g.,
practicing self-care, exhibiting genuineness, providing a
supportive setting in counseling, etc.), but scored much lower on
grief-specific knowledge and skills (e.g., having knowledge of
grief theories, being able to articulate developmentally
appropriate
grief reactions, and recognizing complicated
grief
symptoms, etc.).Regression analyses were used to explore the
relationship between perceived
grief counseling competencies and
the variables of age, gender, professional training and experience
with
grief, and type of
grief counseling training received. Age was
found to be a significant predictor of Personal Competencies and
gender a significant predictor of Overall
Grief Counseling
Competency, Conceptual Skills/Knowledge, Treatment Skills, and
Professional Skills; though, these variables accounted for little
unique contribution. Professional training and experience with
grief was a significant predictor of all the competency subscales
and accounted for much more unique contribution (ß = .22 - .70).The
data analyzed in this study suggest a lack of
grief counseling
training opportunities despite professional training and experience
being a strong predictor of perceived competencies. Further,
students rate themselves as competent on general counseling
abilities, but their scores decline drastically on
grief specific
skills and knowledge.

▼ Trauma and
grief often co-occur, however the degree to which these two constructs overlap or are distinguishable is still poorly understood. Homicidally bereaved individuals are exposed to both trauma and loss-related stressors. Previously collected data were used to explore the relationship between trauma and
grief components in homicide bereavement distress, and whether homicide bereavement distress was distinguishable from that of other adverse life events. The overarching research question for this study was: Are event and loss related distress distinguishable among siblings bereaved by homicide,1 as measured on the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R)? Data from 67 individuals who lost a sibling to murder while growing up (Murder Group) were compared to data from 80 comparison individuals who grew up with a sibling (Comparison Group), but who had no experience of homicide bereavement. A cross-sectional, iterative survey design using group comparisons was used. Participants in the Murder Group reported significantly higher levels of current subjective distress compared with the Comparison Group. Among the siblings bereaved by the homicide loss of a sibling, event- and loss-related subjective distresses were highly and significantly correlated. In addition, both decreased significantly over time (years), and at similar rates. Preliminary findings from exploratory analyses of the IES-R provide insight into the avoidance, intrusion, and hyperarousal components of subjective distress following homicide loss. Findings will inform understanding of the overlap, and distinguishing features, of concurrent trauma and
grief. Implications for theory and empirical research are noted, and recommendations for future research and counselling practice are discussed.

▼ Complicated Grief is a relatively new concept that is globally debated by psychiatrists and psychologists. The time has come for social workers to join this debate and to develop and implement programmes to address the consequences following complicated grief, specifically which results in impaired social functioning. Complicated Grief, prolonged grief and traumatic grief are all synonyms. The term 'complicated grief is the preferred concept used in this research. Article 1 is a literature overview on factors leading to complicated grief and at the same time attempts to link these factors to the South African circumstances. South African citizens are not exempted from experiencing complicated grief. Cultural beliefs on death and dying, AIDS and cancer-related deaths, crime and sociopolitical deaths are but some of the risk factors. She furthermore highlights complicated grief as a matter to be assessed by social workers.
The normality of grief is questioned when the grief experience prohibits the individual to regain a state of social functioning as close as possible to the pre-loss state. Complicated grief is regarded by many researchers as a specific condition in need of specific intervention. The efficacy of bereavement intervention in the case of normal grief is questioned, and it seems that individuals who experience complicated grief benefit more from bereavement intervention. Article 2 attempts to clarify the necessity to screen clients prior to including them in a complicated grief intervention programme by discussing the Inventory of Traumatic Grief as developed by Prigerson and colleagues. The researcher furthermore introduces the Grief Assessment Guide (GASsG) as an assessment tool during the screening process. In article 3 the researchers tabulate some of the most important models/approaches to bereavement and discuss its applicability to Complicated Grief. Specific attention is given to the Dual Process Model (Stroebe & Schut, 1999) and the task-centred approach (a social work approach to therapy) in an attempt to develop a model for Complicated Grief Intervention. This article furthermore proposes the Complicated Grief Intervention Model (CGIM) through the integration of the dual process model and the task-centred approach, while drawing on intervention techniques from other therapeutic approaches. Article 4 explains the implementation of the Complicated Grief Intervention Programme (CGIP) with the CGIM as framework for intervention. The researchers briefly discuss some of the intervention techniques, such as desensitization, visualization, client-log, miracle question, metaphors, rituals and humour. These techniques assist the social worker and the client towards achieving the goal. The CGIP is a time-limited interventions programme. It consists of, and is based on, the three steps of the CGIM: assessment, implementation and evaluation/termination. Although the CGIP has not been scientifically tested, it holds the potential to serve as a guided programme for social workers in the field of grief and…

▼ This dissertation is a modified systematic review with the purpose of exploring the following questions: What is
grief? What is complicated
grief? How do we work therapeutically with complicated
grief?
Theoretical perspectives on what constitutes normal
grief have evolved from one of placing a time frame for the conclusion of grieving, to accepting that grieving is a unique and varied experience that may take a lifetime to resolve. The significance of this can be demonstrated during periods of loss in adulthood when old bereavements and losses from childhood can be revived. How an individual deals with
grief in response to loss is also dependent on a wide range of variables, including the type of relationship to, or nature of, the attachment to what is lost, the circumstances surrounding the loss and whether there has been support from others after the loss. In this the power of community in transitioning through
grief is an important part of the grieving process. Ironically, part of the increased use of therapists to work through
grief is a result of changes in society and family and social supports being less available. Factors complicating the grieving process include the presence of prior traumatic loss in childhood, individuals with psychiatric illness, and the lack of social support at the time of loss. Often separation distress is at the core of complicated
grief. The importance of a good relationship between therapist and client is a strong indicator of a successful outcome where the therapist needs to be mindful of unrealistic assumptions about the process of grieving.

▼ This study has examined the need for and the utilization of various primary and tertiary
grief interventions (as described by Schut en Stroebe, 2005) by grievers (N=241) and the relation with
grief distress in order to check whether grievers make the right match between distress and type of intervention (according to De Keijser, 1997), using an online questionnaire. The relationship with social support was examined as well. Results supported that grievers with high
grief distress felt more need for, and used more, tertiary interventions compared to grievers with low
grief distress. However, they also reported more need for, and used more, primary interventions. Further, it was found that more negative social interactions were related to more need for help as well as utilization of help. Perceived social support only showed a negative relationship with utilization of help while received social support showed no relation with utilization of nor with need for help. Finally it was shown that grievers with low social support and many negative interactions showed more utilization of help than grievers with few negative interactions.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate
whether the
grief process and group cohesion were affected by the
incorporation of music therapy interventions into
grief support
groups. The participants (n=13) were members of
grief support
groups who were registered in one of three possible groups. Each
group met weekly for six weeks. Experimental Group A received music
therapy interventions along with the
grief counseling programming.
Experimental Group B received the
grief counseling programming with
recorded background music while the Control Group received only the
standard support group curriculum without music interventions. A
standardized tool, the Hogan
Grief Reaction Checklist (HGRC),
measured the
grief process in pre-test/post-test design through six
factors of
grief. A post-test Support Group Questionnaire measured
group cohesion at the end of the six weeks. Analysis revealed no
significant differences of the
grief process or group cohesion
among the three groups. A linear regression revealed no
significance of group cohesion predicting the
grief
process.

▼ Given that dialogue relating to death and
grief for many Samoans remains in the realm of tapu (sacred) or sā (protected), few attempts have been made by researchers of Samoan heritage to understand whether the cultural contexts for enacting associated rituals might also provide avenues for healing. Psychological scholarship on recovery following death, particularly among men, is largely based on dominant western perspectives that continue to privilege both clinical and ethnocentric perspectives as the norm. Using the Samoan experience, I argue for a greater consideration of recovery from death as a culturally-defined process. In many instances, instead of severing ties with the deceased person as is popular in clinical approaches to
grief work, this thesis makes an original contribution to the canon by demonstrating that Samoan
grief resolution strongly endorses continued connections through its mourning rituals. Their end-of-life enactment helps to transition the deceased from this life to the next, while drawing the living together. Critically, the performance and maintenance of such important tasks create space for heaving emotions to be calmed, where meaning is made, and where the lives of those impacted are slowly restored. Some rituals offered therapeutic value, enabling the Samoan men involved in this study to walk hand-in-hand with their emotional distress, while transitioning them through the grieving process. Such mourning traditions are meaningful and culturally preferred. Moreover, the theoretical framework engaged by this research is predominantly informed by Samoan and Pasefika research perspectives such as the Uputāua Therapeutic Approach (UTA). UTA is firmly grounded in fa’asamoa (Samoan way) cultural traditions, while allowing space for western perspectives of therapeutic care to be incorporated into the research processes. This thesis critically advocates that psychology as a discipline could become more responsive and effective towards considering the centrality of indigenous perspectives of
grief resolution when engaging with people from non-western cultures. As this thesis demonstrates, Samoan mourning rituals provided a significant pathway for my participants to validate and celebrate their cultural identity wherever they were situated.

▼ The following thesis is based on a qualitative study of the American Foundation for
Suicide Prevention as a source of organized, formal support in
grief management. This
study aimed to contribute to our knowledge of grieving post-suicide in regard to the role
of organized, collective support in response to the larger question of how survivors of
suicide deal with the trauma of their loss. Drawing on interviews with the national capital
area board as well as observations of AFSP activities I examine the role of involvement
in an organization as part of
grief management.
