AbstractSocial support is important during the bereavement period and influences which form of social support the grieving person needs. This study shows 2 different strategies for coping with grief which also revealed which form of social support the grieving persons needed depend on what they found difficult to manage. The coping strategies are called grief management and involve different strategies and the roles in the relationship with the diseased. Systematically monitoring the bereaved makes it possible to understand the strategies they use in the grieving process and to identify when these strategies are insufficient so professional support can be offered.
