Research integrating social convoy and continuing bonds frameworks suggests that deceased individuals can be included in convoys as connections may carry on after death. Building on this, we present a qualitative case study that explores whether such relationships are influenced by the way people die. Pauline, 67, compares the "natural" deaths of relatives to her husband's suicide. Analysis of Pauline's interview revealed that the unexplained death of her husband impacted her identity and contributed to his continued existence within her convoy. Consequently, the cause of death may be an important consideration for researchers integrating the social convoy and continuing bonds frameworks.
研究整合了社会陪伴和持续联系框架，表明死者可以作为陪伴的一部分，因为联系可能会在死后继续存在。在此基础上，我们进行了一项定性案例研究，探讨了这种关系是否受到人们死亡方式的影响。67 岁的波林将亲戚的“自然”死亡与她丈夫的自杀进行了比较。对波林采访的分析显示，她丈夫的意外死亡影响了她的身份，并促使她继续将丈夫视为陪伴的一部分。因此，死亡原因可能是将社会陪伴和持续联系框架整合在一起的研究人员需要考虑的一个重要因素。
