Abstract

Attachment insecurity and cognitive reappraisal were examined as predictors of distress related to continuing bonds in the bereaved. Cognitive reappraisal negatively predicted distress for internal bonds and spiritual bonds, but did not predict distress for proximity-seeking bonds. Attachment insecurity was a positive predictor of distress for proximity-seeking bonds only.
