Tedeschi and Calhoun

Tedeschi and Calhoun developed a psychological model of grief, emphasizing that social support plays a crucial role in healing after loss. They identified that meaningful connections with others help individuals process grief, find new purpose, and rebuild their lives. Without supportive relationships, grief can become prolonged or complicated. Their work highlights the importance of community, empathy, and understanding in overcoming loss, suggesting that social bonds are essential for resilience and recovery during difficult times.
