Grievers recall memories from both the life of the deceased and the dying days, but differences in recall across these memory types are not well-characterized. In this study, 100 bereaved German adults described up to ten important memories of a deceased close other ( 7.86). Memories from the dying days were classified into: and . Among those who provided at least one dying days memory (73%), these memories were reported to be recalled privately and shared socially more often than memories from the deceased's life. Memories from the dying days were rated as less emotionally positive than those from the life, and contextual factors from the loss shaped memory recall frequency and emotional valence. Results underscore the need for appropriate end-of-life care to lay a foundation for adaptive remembering and suggest the relevance of dying days memories in therapeutic settings.
哀伤者会回忆逝者生前以及临终日子的记忆，但对于这些不同类型记忆的回忆差异尚未得到充分描述。在本研究中，100名失去亲人的德国成年人描述了多达十个关于已故亲密他人的重要记忆（平均7.86个）。临终日子的记忆被分为：……和……。在那些至少提供了一个临终日子记忆的人当中（73%），据报告这些记忆比逝者生前的记忆更常被私下回忆和社交分享。与逝者生前的记忆相比，临终日子的记忆在情感上被评为不那么积极，而丧亲的情境因素影响了记忆的回忆频率和情感效价。研究结果强调了提供适当临终关怀以奠定适应性记忆基础的必要性，并表明临终日子的记忆在治疗环境中的相关性。
