TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Childhood bereavement: the role of the surviving parent and the continuing bond with the deceased JO - Death studies A1 - Karydi, Evangelia SP - 415 EP - 425 VL - 42 IS - 7 N2 - This study investigated the relationship between the role of the surviving parent in the child's grieving process, the continuing bond with the deceased parent and bio-psychosocial functioning and active grief in adulthood. A survey of 135 adults, parentally bereaved in childhood, indicated that the surviving parent's role in facilitating the grieving process promoted a positive continuing bond with the deceased in childhood, as well as general functioning in adulthood. The continuing bond with the deceased had a weak association with both better general functioning and relational active grief.
