TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Pre- and post-loss features of adolescent suicide bereavement: findings from a systematic review of the literature JO - Death studies A1 - Andriessen, Karl A1 - Draper, Brian A1 - Dudley, Michael A1 - Mitchell, Philip B. SP - 229 EP - 246 VL - 40 IS - 4 N2 - Despite increasing clinical and research interest in suicide bereavement the impact of suicide on adolescents is still poorly understood. This critical review aims to disentangle pre- and post-loss features that affect response to grief in this age group. The literature was analysed after a systematic search and hand-check of retrieved articles. The impact of suicide is affected by (1) pre-loss features related to personal/family history of mental health, family life, suicidal behavior, and type and emotional closeness of relationship; and (2) post-loss issues such as quality of remaining relationships. Future research and bereavement support should consider these broader contexts.
