Excerpt
Unique features of military death may pose distinctive risks or serve as protective factors to family survivors. Surprisingly, there is little empirical evidence on the impact of a service member’s death on the family and how best to understand and support survivors (Harrington-LaMorie and McDevitt-Murphy 2011). Despite the paucity of scientific study, clinicians can benefit from a review of what is known about military deaths, the communities in which they occur, and information about death and loss in the civilian community that is pertinent to grief in military families and the interventions that will support their health.
