“…There have been some examinations of the role of religion for bereaved adolescents. For example, Balk (1983Balk ( , 1990, Floerchinger (1991), Gray (1987), andLaGrand (1986) have noted that many bereaved adolescents report religion as helpful. Models for coping with life crises also see potential value for both religion and spirituality (Moos & Schaefer, 1986;Pargament, 1997).…”

The unique developmental challenges facing persons during the formative adolescent years distinguish bereavement during this period from other portions of the life cycle, even though, understandably, there are some similarities between bereaved adolescents and bereaved adults. Thus the study of bereavement during adolescence deserves the particular attention of researchers. The objective of this chapter is to examine adolescent bereavement, provide a synthesis of adolescent bereavement research, and identify issues for future research.Although adolescent bereavement research has had a short history, a historical approach is a useful principal for organizing the chapter, because understanding its origins helps a reader see what has been accomplished in this field, understand the current limitations, and appreciate the advances made in some studies. A secondary organizing mechanism of the chapter is "development during adolescence." Adolescent bereavement cannot reliably be understood or investigated unless placed in the overall context of the developmental tasks and transitions facing adolescents.

In this study, friendsickness (preoccupation with and concern for the loss of or change in precollege friendships) is seen as a significant source of distress for college students, affecting college adjustment. A short-term longitudinal study of college students (N = 70) examined associations between friendsickness, precollege predictors, and dimensions of college adjustment 10 weeks into the first semester. As hypothesized, friendsickness was associated with precollege social concerns , discrepancy between precollege expectations and college experiences, more precollege fr iends in the college social network, and loneliness and poor self-esteem in college. Implications for precollege prevention of and college intervention effor ts for friendsickness are discussed.Electronic Journal: To print this article select pages 77-89. TOC
