This preliminary study examines these associations and identifies key predictors of meaning in life within this often-overlooked population. The sample consists of 74 bereaved Israeli grandparents who lost their grandchild under various circumstances. Data were analyzed using correlations, hierarchical regression, and mediation analysis. Findings indicate that high social acknowledgment and social support are significant predictors positively correlated with meaning in life. Additionally, mediation analysis revealed that higher social acknowledgment predicted greater social support, which in turn was associated with a higher presence of meaning.

The aim of this article is to examine how dialogical dynamics shaped knowledge production in a participatory grief research project and to contribute to the development of participatory methods in bereavement research. Through a dialogical approach to participatory knowledge production as the analytical lens, we identified moments of tension and relational engagement in the group dialogues and examined how certain grief experiences came to be included as outcomes while others did not. We present two examples to illustrate how different dialogical processes either facilitated or hindered the recognition and inclusion of diverse grief experiences in the expanded DPM. Our findings underscore the importance of relational engagement, openness to diverse perspectives, and willingness to revisit silenced contributions. We reflect on how these processes may shape participatory knowledge production and suggest ways to support even more inclusive and reflexive dialogues in participatory grief research.</p>","PeriodicalId":11041,"journal":{"name":"Death Studies","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144946141","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}
