“…However, because stable scores may reflect a main effect of religiosity, it is unclear whether this study really demonstrated a supportive role of religion in coping with loss. More clear-cut conclusions can be drawn from the results of a study by Nolen-Hoeksema and Larson (1999). Participants in this study who attended religious services at least occasionally had lower levels at depression at 13 and 18 but not at 6 months after the bereavement than those who did not.…”

“…However, because this study of individuals who suffered a familial bereavement (loss of a sibling, spouse, child, or parent) did not control for type of bereavement, the weaker health effects among the young group (20 to 39) could have been a result of the fact that the proportion of deaths of parents were particularly high among the youngest group. The loss of a parent in adolescence is associated with less health deterioration than the loss of a sibling or spouse (Leahy, 1992;Nolen-Hoeksema & Larson, 1999).…”

“…Yet findings on the role of religious beliefs in coping with loss have been rather mixed. Some investigators claim positive associations (e.g.,Bohannon, 1991;Glick, Weiss, & Parkes, 1974;Gray, 1987;Heyman & Gianturco, 1973;Levy, Martinowski, & Derby, 1994;Nolen-Hoeksema & Larson, 1999;Sherkat & Reed, 1992), others report either no difference (e.g.,Burks, Lund, Gregg & Bluhm, 1988;Lund, Caserta & Dimond, 1986;Schut, 1992;…”

The study of risk factors in bereavement outcome is important for practical as well as theoretical reasons. Early identification of individuals at risk can help to solve the dilemma that bereavement poses to the helping professions. Bereavement is frequent and most people suffer terribly, at least in the short term. However, the majority of bereaved people manage to adjust to the loss without professional help. They would not be helped, and indeed might even be harmed, by receiving clinical therapy (chapter 29, this volume). Yet a minority of bereaved people are at risk of suffering lasting health consequences. Because they might be helped by psychological or medical therapy, early identification of this risk group is important.The study of risk factors also plays an important role in developing and testing theoretical explanations of the health impact of bereavement. Because theories of bereavement identify situational or personal characteristics likely to be associated with poor bereavement outcome, the study of The authors are indebted to Robert Weiss for many insightful and stimulating comments on earlier drafts of this manuscript.
