Mindfulness-Based Interventions for Bereavement: A Systematized Narrative Review
Overview
This systematized narrative review synthesizes findings from seventeen studies on mindfulness-based interventions for bereavement. It highlights that Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Cognitive Therapy may reduce grief-related distress and rumination while increasing self-compassion. The resource notes that current evidence is preliminary due to methodological limitations such as small sample sizes and lack of long-term follow-up.
