This qualitative study explores bereavement experiences with an assisted death. Thematic analysis of data from interviews with 22 people who had a family member die under Oregon's Death with Dignity Act revealed the following five themes: (a) general grief reactions, (b) anticipating the death, (c) sense of control, (d) level of agreement with assisted death, and (e) grief expression and stigma. Grief from an assisted death is a varied experience, including aspects that are unique to this mode of death, and aspects that can both ease and bring challenges to the grieving process.
