Coping with Bereavement in Non-Western Cultures: Egypt In Egypt the bereaved are encouraged to dwell profusely on their subjective pain in an atmosphere where … others also immerse themselves in tragic tales and expressed sorrow. (Wikan, 1988, p. 455)

Coping with Bereavement in Non-Western Cultures: Bali In Bali laughter and cheerfulness fill the air while the bereaved are enjoined to contain their sorrow and may be made to feel they commit an injustice to others should they fail to abide by this demand. (Wikan, 1988, p. 455)

1. Expression of Emotions & Well- being among Bereaved Persons 1. Expression of Emotions & Well- being among Bereaved Persons (Schut, 1992, Stroebe, Schut & Stroebe, 2005) Longitudinal study, 128 recently-bereaved Longitudinal study, 128 recently-bereaved 4 assessments, 2 years 4 assessments, 2 years Emotional disclosure; adjustment Emotional disclosure; adjustment

Expression of emotions T1 Expression of emotions T2 Distress T1 Distress T2 Distress T3 Distress T4 Expression of emotions T3 Expression of emotions T4 Path model of expression of emotions and distress (Schut, 1992, Stroebe, Schut & Stroebe, 2005)

2. Grief Work Through Diary Writing: The Pennebaker Paradigm [e.g. Pennebaker & Keough, 1999; Pennebaker et al., 2001)

Pennebaker’s writing paradigm: Effects Reduces physician consultations Reduces physician consultations Improves some immune functions Improves some immune functions Increases grades among students Increases grades among students Improves mood Improves mood Effective among unemployed, prisoners, chronically-ill patients, etc. Effective among unemployed, prisoners, chronically-ill patients, etc. Bereaved persons??? Bereaved persons???

The Utrecht Diary Study (cf. Stroebe, Stroebe, Schut, Zech, & van den Bout, JCCP, 2002) 157 recently bereaved men & women 157 recently bereaved men & women Writing & non-writing conditions Writing & non-writing conditions Assessed mental & physical health (inc. visits to doctor) Assessed mental & physical health (inc. visits to doctor)

Results Symptoms decrease over time, but: No effect of writing on: Emotional intensity Emotional intensity Health (“subjective” or “objective”) Health (“subjective” or “objective”)

Conclusions so far: The grief work model needs revision to… …define when and for whom - and what type of – working through / disclosure is efficacious

Models of coping

Grief Work Models Phase Model (Bowlby, 1980) ShockYearning/protestDespairRestitution Task Model (Worden, 1991) Accept reality of loss Experience pain of grief Adjust to life without deceased Relocate deceased emotionally & move on

Dual Process Model of Coping with Bereavement (Stroebe & Schut, Death Studies, 1999) A taxonomy to describe ways people come to terms with the loss of a close person: Two categories of stressors Two categories of stressors Analysis of coping: strategies & appraisal Analysis of coping: strategies & appraisal Dynamic process of oscillation Dynamic process of oscillation

Loss- oriented Grief work Intrusion of grief letting go-continuing- relocating bonds / ties Denial/avoidance of restoration changes Everyday life experience Restoration- oriented Attending to life changes Doing new things Distraction from grief Denial/avoidance of grief New roles/ identities/ relationships The Dual Process Model of Coping with Bereavement Stroebe & Schut (Death Studies, 1999) oscillation

Caregiving & Bereavement Adaptation Schulz, Boerner, & Herbert (in Stroebe et al., Handbook of Bereavement Research: 21st Century Perspectives, in press) Caregivers at high risk Caregivers at high risk Most adapt well to bereavement Most adapt well to bereavement But a few have adverse bereavement outcomes But a few have adverse bereavement outcomes

Comparison of Models Phase Model (Bowlby, 1980) ShockYearning/protestDespairRestitution Task Model (Worden, 1991) Accept reality of loss Experience pain of grief Adjust to life without deceased Relocate deceased emotionally & move on DPM (Stroebe & Schut, 1999) Accept reality of loss …and accept reality of changed world. Experience pain of grief …and take time off from pain of grief. Adjust to life without deceased … and master the changed (subjective) environment. Relocate deceased emotionally & move on …and develop new roles, identities, relationships.
