Abstract This study aimed to examine the influence of COVID-specific stressors on cross-sectional and longitudinal bereavement outcomes. According to the Dual Process Model of grief these stress-inducing factors can relate to the loss (loss-oriented stressors) or to manage everyday life (restoration-oriented stressors) and require coping in the grief process. A total of 491 participants (94.1% female; 43.92 years on average; 44.4% loss of a parent) were included at the first measurement time point (T0), of whom 99 individuals also participated in a follow-up assessment 6 months later (T1). Participants frequently reported loss-oriented (on average 7.30 out of 21 queried) and restoration-oriented stressors (on average 6.99 out of 19 queried). Cross-sectionally, higher acute grief intensity was associated with a higher number of loss-oriented stressors, poorer mental well-being, and sociodemographic variables. This effect disappeared longitudinally, with only acute grief intensity and poorer mental well-being at T0 predicting higher prolonged grief at T1. Common resilience factors did not buffer the effects of the pandemic on grief. Loss-oriented stressors seem to be especially relevant for understanding grief and might be a mediator of higher long-term grief. The findings suggest that COVID-specific strains need to be specifically taken into account in the support of bereaved individuals. |
