This research examines the significance of the survivor-victim relationship in understanding grief following sudden death bereavement. Data for this study come from medical examiner's reports and mailed self-report surveys of survivors of suicide and accidental death. In general, the results show that survivor-victim attachment is more important than survivor's status in explaining grief reactions. Also, suicide survivors experience significantly less emotional distress and shock, but greater feelings of guilt/shame and rejection, than survivors of accidental death. This paper concludes by directing future research to explore more fully the importance of survivor-victim relationships in understanding grief following bereavement.
本研究探讨了幸存者与受害者关系在理解猝死丧亲之痛后的悲伤情绪方面的重要性。本研究的数据来自法医报告以及对自杀和意外死亡幸存者的邮寄自填式调查问卷。总体而言，结果表明，在解释悲伤反应方面，幸存者与受害者之间的依恋关系比幸存者的身份更为重要。此外，与意外死亡的幸存者相比，自杀幸存者经历的情绪困扰和震惊明显更少，但内疚/羞耻感和被排斥感更强。本文最后指出，未来的研究应更全面地探索幸存者与受害者关系在理解丧亲之痛后的悲伤情绪方面的重要性。
