Inconsistencies in gender and cultural differences may be explained by the overrepresentation of bereaved women in the samples. This study explores gender differences in grief and post-traumatic growth (PTG) across Belgium, Canada, and Spain. Utilizing a gender-matched controlled design, the study analyzed data from 244 men and 244 women. Each man was matched with a woman based on kinship with the deceased, delay since loss, and country. Participants completed the Traumatic Grief Inventory-Self Report and Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory-Short Form. Results indicate that men reported significantly lower levels of grief symptoms and PTG compared to women, consistently across all three countries. These findings are discussed in relation to previous research suggesting that men exhibit more instrumental and avoidant grieving styles while women display more intuitive and expressive responses, and how results may be biased by self-report measures and recruitment.","PeriodicalId":11041,"journal":{"name":"Death Studies","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145198593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For children under 18, TAPS provides Good Grief Camp, where volunteer Military and Legacy Mentors, often with personal loss experience, serve as peer mentors support. Legacy Mentors are young adults who lost a loved one in childhood and received training to help other bereaved children. This study examines the TAPS impact on young adults, focusing on Legacy Mentors. A survey of 314 participants measured well-being, complicated grief, posttraumatic growth, and hardiness. A series of t-tests showed former Good Grief Camp attendees and Legacy Mentors reported fewer complicated grief symptoms, while also showing more posttraumatic growth in the domain of \"Relating to Others.\" In the regression model, Legacy Mentor status significantly predicted fewer complicated grief symptoms. Findings suggest TAPS peer support programs provide benefits to both those receiving as well as those providing support during bereavement.","PeriodicalId":11041,"journal":{"name":"Death Studies","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145184930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This qualitative study, conducted in Ireland, and informed by the continuing bonds model, used semi-structured interviews to explore the experiences of six parents with no surviving children (four females) and perspectives of six professionals (four females) with experience of working with this group. Thematic analysis highlighted three themes reflecting parents' experiences and professionals' perspectives on working with parents: \"Facing life after death,\" \"Finding meaning and re-defining identity after death,\" and \"Being supported by those in the same boat.\" The results have profound implications for understanding parents' identity and future orientation. The importance of celebrating the life of the child and the need for specific supports for this group were emphasized. Implications are discussed in terms of the need to recognize the unique experience of these parents in the development and provision of supports. There is a strong recommendation for further research with parents with no surviving children.","PeriodicalId":11041,"journal":{"name":"Death Studies","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145130256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A systematic search of all UK and Ireland university public-facing only websites was conducted during 2024-2025 to assess the provision of ten bereavement-related support types. Support types were aggregated producing a total bereavement friendly score out of 30 for each university. Correlation analyses were conducted to examine the association between these scores and external measures of university performance. Findings indicated that the visibility of bereavement support information was generally poor. Institutional bereavement friendly scores (M = 14.15) correlated positively with external university quality scores and negatively with student non-continuation figures. This review demonstrates the poor accessibility and visibility of support for bereaved students on university public-facing websites, underscoring the need for websites to incorporate comprehensive bereavement guidance conveying advice and available support.","PeriodicalId":11041,"journal":{"name":"Death Studies","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145102489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review examines evidence on group-based psychotherapeutic interventions for adults with prolonged grief symptoms. Following PRISMA guidelines, Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed were searched for trials from 1980 to 2025. Twelve studies met criteria, including randomized controlled and quasi-experimental designs. Structured group approaches-especially cognitive-behavioral, dual-process, and compassion-focused-showed reductions in prolonged grief and distress like depression and anxiety. Group therapy supports emotional expression and social bonds, aiding adjustment after loss. Despite variations in dropout rates and limited follow-up, methodological quality was generally strong. Findings show group interventions as supportive, accessible options for complicated grief, especially for those at risk of isolation. Future research should address cultural factors, long-term effects, and compare with other therapies. Building evidence for group interventions may improve grief care and support healthier adjustment.","PeriodicalId":11041,"journal":{"name":"Death Studies","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145079796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
