| Annotation | Personal and professional contact with older bereaved spouses provides examples in which the deceased continue to play important and positive roles in the lives of survivors. However - at least within the clinical field - it has not been widely recognised that satisfactory resolution of grief may involve a continuing, functional place for the deceased in the life of the survivor. The research outlined in this article sets out to look in more depth at the continuing role of the deceased in the life of the surviving spouse, at the functions the deceased may continue to play in the lives of survivors, and at the impact of continuing bonds on well-being.
