Compared guilt experiences of parents (n=132) whose children (aged 1-36) died by suicide, accident, or chronic illness. Guilt was reported by 92 percent of suicide bereaved parents, 78 percent of accident bereaved parents, and 71 percent of chronic disease bereaved parents. Six sources of guilt (Death Causation, Illness-Related, Childrearing, Moral, Survival, Grief Guilt) varied by type of death. (Author/NB)
