^*Study was conducted with a non-bereaved sample.

^**No support was available in literature. Inclusion was based on clinical theory (Worden, 1996) and evidence from laboratory studies with adults showing that the inhibition of expression of emotion is stressful and relates to poorer adaptation (Gross & Levenson, 1997, Gross & Munoz, 1995.)
