What factors heighten the risk for a poor outcome of bereavement?:

What will be an ideal response?

Sudden, unexpected death, such as suicide, murder, and stigmatized death (e.g., death due to AIDS); ambivalence toward and dependency on the deceased; death of a parent; perceived lack of social support; concurrent crises (e.g., illness in other family members); reduced material resources; gender of a surviving spouse (widowers are often at higher risk than widows).
