The anniversary of the loss of a loved one is known to induce negative emotions, which for some can be significant. The present study examined the incidence of suicide around the time of such anniversaries using data from the Queensland Suicide Register for the years 1998 to 2008. There were statistically significant increases in suicide events immediately after the loss of a loved one and around the anniversary of the loss. Limitations of the study are noted.
亲人去世周年纪念日会引发负面情绪，而对某些人来说，这种情绪可能很强烈。本研究利用昆士兰自杀登记处 1998 年至 2008 年的数据，调查了此类纪念日前后自杀事件的发生率。亲人去世后和去世周年纪念日前后，自杀事件明显增加。研究还指出了其局限性。
