- Abstract
- The study investigates the possible role that the parents' religious beliefs and activities play in determining the nature, intensity, and outcome of parental grief over the death of the child. It uses questionnaires and personal interviews to obtain information from Roman Catholic and Protestant parents who have recently lost a child. Analysis of the data yields the following major results: 1) There is mixed support for the hypotheses that extreme degrees of religious beliefs and activities lead to more intense grief reactions, to less successful resolution of grief than a moderate degree of religious beliefs and activities. Religious value orientation was significantly associated with high frequency of crying but not with felt need to cry. Neither the respondents' intrinsic religious value score nor the extent of their being extrinsically active or inactive in church had an effect on successful resolution of grief. 2) Female respondents tend to be more religious than males. 3) More males tend to have accepted their loss. Beliefs that God can be trusted, is love, knows all that is best, is merciful, will provide, and that he will reunite family members are useful.
