This study explored the relationship between forgiveness and posttraumatic growth (PTG) in a sample of individuals who experienced a drug-related death of a loved one (n = 292). Findings indicated that self-forgiveness is strongly correlated with PTG. Study implications and limitations are also reviewed and discussed.
