Paving the way: From early attachment theory to contemporary bereavement research (2002, background): “[2] As the next step in the link to attachment theory, it is useful to consider the relationship between coping as described in the DPM, and complications in the grieving process.”
Complicated Grief and the Quest for Meaning: A Constructivist Contribution (2006, background): “…of complicated grief, while helpful in providing a general orienting framework for treatment, is in itself insufficient to direct therapeutic interventions, which require a delicate grafting onto the salient issues emerging for a given client at a given moment of therapy (Neimeyer, 2001a).”
An Examination of Posttraumatic Growth and Posttraumatic Depreciation: Two Exploratory Studies (2008, background): “The assumption here, reflecting the data on what individuals describe from their experience with crisis and loss (Neimeyer, 2001), is that persons can experience both growth and depreciation in the same area, so asking for ratings that reflect both growth and depreciation, in the same domain,…”
Personality and meaning in life (2006, background): “Recent research on posttraumatic growth has shown that meaning reconstruction in response to loss is a central process in grieving (Neimeyer, 2001).”
Meaning Reconstruction in the First Two Years of Bereavement: The Role of Sense-Making and Benefit-Finding (2006, background): “Clinical Implications Consistent with other work (Currier et al., 2006; Davis et al., 1998; Davis, Wortman, Lehman, & Silver, 2000; Neimeyer, 1998, 2001), the present results suggest that bereaved persons who find a measure of meaning in the loss experience seem to fare better in the grieving…”
The Dual Process Model of Coping with Bereavement: A Decade on (2010, methodology): “The DPM can be understood as a taxonomy to describe ways that people come to terms with the loss of a loved one (for detailed accounts, see Stroebe & Schut, 1999, 2001).”
Making sense of the meaning literature: an integrative review of meaning making and its effects on adjustment to stressful life events. (2010, background): “Researchers have even postulated the existence of “family meaning making” (e.g., Nadeau, 2001; Patterson & Garwick, 1994).”
Compassion at the counter: Service providers and bereaved consumers (2006, background): “Hand in hand with this functional impairment comes a powerful urge to restore meaning and sense in the face of what is perceived to be a meaningless and senseless loss (Neimeyer, 2001).”
“That’s My Number One Fear in Life. It’s the Police”: Examining Young Black Men’s Exposures to Trauma and Loss Resulting From Police Violence and Police Killings (2019, background): “Grief is a highly individualized process (Burke, Neimeyer, & McDevitt-Murphy, 2010)—no two people exhibit the same grief expressions at precisely the same intensity for the same duration of time (Balk & Corr, 2009; Burke et al., 2010; Neimeyer, 2001; Walsh & McGoldrick, 1991).”
Assessing Attitudes Toward Dying and Death: Psychometric Considerations (2003, methodology): “Finally, as a measure derived from personal construct theory, the TI may prove more compatible with “meaning reconstruction” models of loss, which focus on the disruption of one’s assumptive world in the face of death and bereavement (Neimeyer, 2001).”

Gender, Preloss Marital Dependence, and Older Adults’ Adjustment to Widowhood (2004, background): “Frantz, Farrell, and Trolley (2001) observe that ‘‘grief leaves in its wake many positive outcomes’’ (p. 191), yet most conclusions about such positive outcomes are based on small, nonrepresentative or clinical samples of women only.”
