La littérature scientifique explique que plusieurs variables peuvent influencer l’ajustement au deuil. La nature du décès – plus particulièrement un décès après suicide – a été identifiée comme une des variables pouvant contribuer à rendre le deuil plus complexe. La présente étude a pour but d’évaluer les réactions survenant plusieurs années après un décès par suicide (n = 31) et par maladie (n = 38) ainsi que le lien avec les facteurs contribuant au développement de complications. Les mesures incluaient des questionnaires auto-administrés évaluant les réactions des personnes endeuillées (échelle de dépression, traumatique, de détresse) ainsi que le style d’attachement. Seul le style d’attachement insécure et l’intensité des réactions traumatiques prédisent le développement d’un deuil compliqué, éléments sur lesquels il serait important d’intervenir.In the literature, there have been many studies devoted to adjustment to bereavement as well as to the variables related to it. The objective of our study is to determine and compare mourners’ reactions many years after their loss as well as the factors generating complications, using two samples : death by suicide (n = 31) and death due to sickness (n = 38). Self-administered questionnaires were used in our inquiry to measure mourners’ reactions to death (depression, traumas, and distress) and their bond style with the deceased person. We believe that two factors (variables) could lead to a complicated bereavement and necessitate an intervention : an insecure bond style and/or intense traumatic reactions
