The Implications of a Death in the Family for Student Development

One of the developmental challenges that a college student may have to face is the death of a significant other-friend, spouse, relative, child, parent, or pet. The focus of this study was to examine the potential effects of bereavement on college students based on a synthesis of previously published empirical studies and a review of literature. Coping strategies specific to college students are discussed. Because the presence of suitable interventions may decrease some of the negative consequences of griefand may facilitate the developmentalprocess, institutional and individual interventions are reviewed.
