Abstrakt: Survivors of sudden death losses frequently experience vivid imagery associated with the events surrounding their loved one's death. This paper describes the development and psychometric validation of the Dying Imagery Scale-Revised (DIS-R), a 15-item measure assessing three forms of death imagery, including Reenactment, Remorse, and Revenge imagery. The first study details the development of the DIS-R in a sample of suddenly bereaved college students. The second study examines the validity and reliability of the DIS-R among suddenly bereaved adults. Results suggest that the measure is psychometrically sound and may provide clinically useful information for bereavement counselors.
