A loss that occurs under violent or frightening conditions is much more difficult to cope with than is a loss that occurs under more peaceful conditions. A death that occurs as a result of homicide or suicide is usually more stressful than is a death from natural causes. Some people find strength in dealing with loss through their faith, whereas others experience greater distress due to their beliefs. Sociocultural resources include the social support that is available from family, friends, coworkers, and formal institutions. Absence of these social supports creates additional stressors for the grieving person. The age at which a loss occurs has a major impact: The loss of a parent has different meanings to an infant, a child, and an adult.
