A study on grief

Because of the lack of empirical articles in the psychological literature, I decided to look into psychological reactions to grief and bereavement for my dissertation. I’m hoping to gather participants from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. What follows is an IRB-approved welcome message and link to the survey. Thank you!
