Comforting/self-disclosure

Pre-planning services

 

Immediate post-death rituals

 

Adolescents’ reactions to parent’s funeral

Adolescents’ bereavement over time/externalizing & internalizing behaviors

Parents’ reactions to news of child’s death

Grief

Obituaries

 

Long-term post-death rituals

 

Grieving if death seen as preventable vs. not preventable

Website memorials

Letters/communications to the deceased

Religious services/prayers

In case you need more material, I have three suggestions:

The Bonesetter's Daughter, Amy Tan - a girl deals with her caregiver's suicide

Durable Goods, Elizabeth Berg - a daughter deals with her mother's unexpected death

The Time Traveler's Wife, Audrey Niffenegger - I haven't read this one, it was just recommended to me, but I think it is a husband dealing with a wife's unexpected death
