Abstract

This study looks at how different factors affect how university students experience grief after losing someone close. We will focus on three things: how long ago the bereavement happened, whether the student is male or female, and the type of relationship to the person who died. By understanding which factors are linked to more difficult grief, we hope to provide insights that could help improve support for students coping with loss.
