Abstract
The death of a loved one often impacts individuals across multiple roles. Greater impact of the loss on these roles is associated with more grief. Our study revealed that behavioral engagement pre-loss may decrease the degree to which roles are impacted following the loss, thereby reducing the grief symptoms experienced.
