  • 소개/요약Bereavement grief, the emotional response following the death of a loved one, incorporates various physical, psychological, and behavioral symptoms that have been reported to worsen individuals' physical and psychological health (Assareh, Sharpley, McFarlane, & Sachdev, 2015; Beem, Maes, Cleiren, Schut, & Garssen, 2000; Buckley, McKinley, Tofler, & Bartrop, 2010). Intensity and interference symptoms may involve serious negative and sorrowful feelings with regard to the deceased ones, and the grief is often accompanied by excessive self‐blame and anger, mixed up with previous memories, as well as worries and fears about living alone in the future without the deceased. Although most bereaved persons can adjust to the loss with time, an increased mortality rate on bereavement has been reported in widowhood, which peaks during the first 6 months after spousal loss (Christakis & Iwashyna, 2003; Hart, Hole, Lawlor, Smith, & Lever, 2007; Lichtenstein, Gatz, & Berg, 1998; Manor & Eisenbach, 2003). Spousal and late‐life bereavement have been reported to be accompanied by inevitable sadness, sleep disturbance, depression, and anxiety (Taylor et al., 1999; Zisook & Shear, 2009) or the exacerbation of pre‐existing depression (Zisook, Paulus, Shuchter, & Judd, 1997). According to the bereaved individuals' reports, the painful grief perception surges in the form of uncontrollable waves in their daily lives (Scott, 2015). Generally, bereaved individuals have to pass through a long‐term grieving process until they accept an adjustment to a life without their loved ones, which may take up to 4 years in Taiwanese individuals (Tseng, Petrie, & Leon‐Gonzalez, 2017; Zisook & Shear, 2009). However, such prolonged sorrow could lead to a general reduction in cognitive functions (Rosnick, Small, & Burton, 2010) and ultimately adversely affect the brain structure and functionality of the bereaved individual (Gündel, O'Connor, Littrell, Fort, & Lane, 2003; O'Connor, Gündel, McRae, & Lane, 2007).
