Parental grief is described as a psychosocial transition of adjustment and change that includes positive and negative outcomes associated with bereaved parents' individual characteristics and perceived social support. The purpose of this ongoing study is to examine the relationship of these factors to outcomes of grief symptoms, depressive symptoms and the perception of personal growth during the first 30 months of bereavement. Method: Parents complete empirical derived and theoretically sound scales in the presence of the PI. Grief symptoms are evaluated on a continuum of severity rather than as discrete categories of typical and complicated grief.Inclusion of parents' evaluation of personal growth documents its concurrent presence with grief distress and emphasizes parents' resilience and strength.
