Neimeyer describes "meaning reconstruction" by bereaved persons as involving:

a. a process that is done by all grievers in similar ways at similar times
b. accounting for the significance of the loss or focusing on positive benefits for those left behind
c. relinquishing, rather than redefining, a continued bond with the deceased
d. confirmation of the notion that grief unfolds in predictable patterns over time
e. a process that is independent of cultural influences
