“…Stroebe and colleagues (2014) found that guilt‐related emotions can exert CG symptoms after the loss of a loved one. Trevino and colleagues (2018) reported similar results among bereaved cancer caregivers. On the other hand, optimism can be a protective factor against CG symptoms.…”

Increasing evidence shows that job loss can lead to symptoms of complicated grief (CG). However, little is known about which factors relate to the development and maintenance of CG symptoms following job loss. This study aimed to examine risk factors for the development and maintenance of job loss‐related CG symptoms. For this study 485 Dutch workers who had lost their job were recruited (239 men and 246 women), with an average age of 50.2 years. A subsample of 128 participants also completed questionnaires at a six‐month follow‐up. We conducted correlational and multiple regression analyses (MRA) to examine the influence of the former work situation, coping strategies, and negative cognitions on job loss‐related CG symptoms. MRA results showed that belief in an unjust world was related to job loss‐related CG symptoms, cross‐sectionally and longitudinally. Further, there was a significant relationship between CG symptoms following job loss and a preference for maladaptive coping over adaptive coping styles and a low level of self‐esteem. This effect remained stable over time. These findings can inform the development of interventions for and early detection of job loss‐related CG symptoms.

“…However, loss-related distress can persist, a phenomenon referred to as complicated grief (Shear et al., 2011), which is associated with a broad range of health problems including depression and suicide (Shear, 2015). A plethora of research finds that adequate social support is a crucial aspect for coping with a loss and greatly reduces the risk for complicated grief and suicide among the bereaved (Burke, Laure, & Neimeyer, 2012; Juth, Smyth, Carey, & Lepore, 2015; Kleiman & Liu, 2013; Trevino et al., 2018).…”

Abstract. Background: Despite great need, social support is limited after suicide loss, which could contribute to worse mental health outcomes including increased suicidality among suicide loss survivors. Aims: To examine the associations between perceived social support, grief difficulties, depressive symptoms, suicidality, and personal growth among 195 suicide loss survivors. Method: The associations between perceived social support, grief difficulties, depressive symptoms, suicidality, and personal growth were tested using linear regression modeling. Results: In controlled models, more perceived social support was significantly associated with decreased grief difficulties, depressive symptoms, and suicidality, as well as with increased personal growth. Limitations: Participants were mostly Caucasian women who participated in a cross-sectional online survey. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that programs to increase social support after suicide loss may be an important aspect of suicide postvention.
