This research found that grief-related beliefs contained elements of a traditional stereotypic view. Further, a bereaved individual's general way of coping influenced how others expected them to grieve. Finally, aspects of both a bereaved individual and support provider were found to impact the willingness of individuals to offer bereavement-related support.
