Abstract

Spiritual-religious coping (SRC) may be significant for the quality of life of Brazilian parents who have lost a child due to homicide, suicide or accidental causes. Forty parents responded to the: SRC Scale, the WHOQOL Spirituality Religiousness and Personal Beliefs, the Duke University Religion Index, and interviews. The results indicated that SRC can collaborate in bereavement by traumatic loss, especially the Positive SRC feature "offering help to others," which can help promote well-being, construction of meaning and pursuit of meaning in life. A total of 70% reported being involved in social projects or volunteering as a resource in the grieving process. © 2018, © 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
