Abstract
A three-factor model of continuing bonds in bereavement is presented. Principal components analysis of a newly developed inventory assessing continuing bonds supported a three-factor solution, including internalized/guiding bonds, proximity-seeking bonds, and spiritual bonds. Hallucinatory experiences, which have often been classified with other proximity-seeking bonds, loaded on the spiritual bonds factor.
