Effects of Sudden vs. Chronic Illness Death on Bereavement Outcome.
Sanders, Catherine M.
Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, v13 n3 p227-41 1982-83
Interviewed bereaved persons shortly after the death of a close family member and 18 months later. Respondents were grouped according to mode of death. The short-term chronic illness group made the most favorable adjustment. Sudden death and long-term chronic illness death groups sustained higher intensities of bereavement. (Author/RC)
