The authors investigated the frequency with which retired UK men and women (N = 102) used specified religious and secular strategies to help them cope with life, and with thoughts on death and dying. Data were obtained from self-report questionnaires and telephone interviews. For general coping, “recognizing how much worse off others are” was ranked first and “looking on the bright side” second. Literature was the highest ranked artistic pursuit, followed by instrumental music. A significant correlation was found between level of religious/spiritual beliefs and thoughts relating to death. Thematic analysis on qualitative comments yielded additional insights into how participants coped with both life and death issues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
