TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Adolescents' trajectory through peer loss after a road traffic accident JO - Death studies A1 - Papadatou, Danai A1 - Bellali, T. A1 - Tselepi, K. A1 - Giannopoulou, I. SP - 383 EP - 391 VL - 42 IS - 6 N2 - This mixed method study investigated the short and long term effects of peer loss on eight adolescents after a fatal school bus accident. Phenomenological analysis of their retrospective narratives revealed three patterns (living in despair, collecting my pieces, remembering and moving on). Quantitative findings indicate progressive decrease in post traumatic stress symptoms severity across time; increase in positive changes in perceptions of self, others, and life between 18 and 34 months; and stable continuing bond with the deceased peers.
