My thesis involves looking at grief responses based on the shared relationship the bereaved had with the deceased. one of my questions deal with coping strategies but it seems the models do not distinguish between the responses and the strategies for coping.
very good topic, can you please elaborate in brief some models that you have.
ethnofocal model of pottinger (1999), phase model of bowlby (1980), dual process model of stroebe and schut (2005). the one that gave rise to this question is the dual process model of bowlby because it demonstrates adaption to bereavement; which leads me to wonder if grief responses are in actuality coping strategies and a dichotomy of the coping strategies and the grief responses is not necessary.
An individual's response to grief has a direct relationship with the relationship such a person had with the deceased. I suggest you have one or two focused group discussion FGD that way you would be able to sieve out the dynamics of the responses
