Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Grief Studies
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Sibling bereavement is recognized as a profound loss.
  • Existing empirical literature lacks conceptual clarity on sibling bereavement characteristics.
  • Metaphorical language may hinder specific theory development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the concept of sibling bereavement.
  • To review the empirical literature on sibling loss.
  • To extend the knowledge base beyond adolescence, especially for adults losing siblings to AIDS.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of empirical literature.
  • Application of the Wilsonian Method (1963) for concept analysis.
  • Development of a preliminary conceptual model.
