Abstract
This study uses various qualitative methods to assess bereavement and posttraumatic growth (PTG) following the unexpected and/or violent loss of a loved one. Findings help further understand active components that constitute PTG, which have been primarily assessed via quantitative methods and do not account for the potential of illusory change.
