Abstract

In view of the mounting death toll of COVID-19 worldwide and the complicating circumstances that commonly accompany such losses, we studied the grief experiences of 209 adult mourners who lost a loved one to coronavirus with a focus on self-blaming emotions and unresolved issues with the deceased. We found universal endorsement of one or more forms of self-blame (guilt, regret, shame) or unfinished business (UB), with over one-third of mourners endorsing all four experiences. Those having a closer relationship to the deceased reported both greater distress over UB and more intense and dysfunctional grief symptomatology. Strikingly, unresolved conflict, a major dimension of UB, accounted for nearly 40% of the unique variance in problematic grief, which bore no relation to time since the loss.

因 COVID-19 死亡而失去亲人的人的未竟事业和自责情绪

摘要

鉴于全球 COVID-19 的死亡人数不断增加,以及此类损失通常伴随的复杂情况,我们研究了 209 名因冠状病毒而失去亲人的成年哀悼者的悲痛经历,重点是自责情绪和未解决的问题死者。我们发现普遍认可一种或多种形式的自责(内疚、遗憾、羞耻)或未完成的事情(UB),超过三分之一的哀悼者认可这四种经历。那些与死者关系更密切的人报告说,对 UB 的痛苦更大,并且更强烈和功能失调的悲伤症状。引人注目的是,未解决的冲突是 UB 的一个主要维度,占问题悲伤的独特差异的近 40%,自失去以来与时间无关。
