Abstract Sport scientists have started to amass a small body of knowledge on loss in sport. Viewing sport retirement from a loss framework is particularly appropriate when examining transitions out of disability sport because athletes with disabilities are at risk for facing unique losses when they lease sport (Martin, 1996; Wheeler, Malone, & Steadward, 1996). The purpose of this article is to discuss loss experiences in disability sport from psychological, social, and physiological perspectives.

Abstract Athletes from a variety of team and individual sports (N = 591) provided background information about themselves and a recent slump in sporting performance they had experienced. The slump-specific information included perceptions of loss, threat, challenge, and stress, as well as dimensional ratings for the primary cause of the slump. A split-sample procedure was used to specify and cross validate multivariate relationships among potential predictor variables and stress ratings. Results indicated that five variables made significant contributions to the prediction of stress ratings: perceived loss, perceived threat, perceived challenge, net causal control, and marital status (R = .77, adjusted R2 = .58). Findings are discussed primarily in terms of Hobfoil's (1988, 1989) conservation of resources model, which emphasizes the role of loss perceptions in the stress process.

Abstract Athletes can experience loss in the form of chronic competitive failure, deselection, injury, and sport career termination. Reactions to these losses may affect and be affected by athletes' self-identity. Although the self has generally been conceptualized as stable in sport-related research, there are compelling theoretical and empirical reasons to expect that aspects of the self may vary across sport situations. In this investigation, two studies were conducted to test the hypothesis that sport participants would reduce their self-identification with the athlete role in response to the personal loss resulting from a poor competitive season. Male intercollegiate athletes completed preseason and late season assessments of athletic identity in both Study 1 and Study 2. As predicted, participants who were not satisfied with their performances during the season tended to decrease their athletic identity to a greater extent than participants who were satisfied with their performances during the seaso...

Abstract In this qualitative study of women who have experienced nonconsensual sexual activity, participants were asked to write accounts of their experiences focusing on what motivated them to confide in someone, to whom they confided, what the outcome was, and how it effected them. Participants had to be female and 18 years of age or older, and they had to have been sexually abused at some point in their lives. A total of 10 women participated. Nine of the women wrote about an abusive experience that happened to them as a child, and one wrote about an experience that occurred in adulthood. The participants wrote that they were able to disclose their past sexually abusive experience because they felt safe with the person to whom they confided, they felt they needed help, and the opportunity presented itself. They were more likely to disclose to non-family members than family members, and the majority of the people they disclosed to had a positive reaction. Consequently, most of the women in this study we...

Abstract As treatment for survivors of childhood sexual abuse receives increased attention, the need for therapist sensitivity to related issues of grief and loss becomes important. In addition to grieving the loss of a normal, innocent childhood, adult survivors may experience emotional pain due to subsequent losses in adulthood precipitated by the consequences of abuse (i.e., difficulty in developing and maintaining healthy intimate relationships, loss of mental health). The death of one's abuser may produce a conflicted grief reaction resulting from intense feelings of anger or ambivalence, particularly in the case of incest. This report discusses the dynamics of grief and loss central to childhood sexual abuse. Assessment strategies are presented, and therapeutic interventions, including the use of ritual, creative writing, and art, are described through the use of case studies. Also termination issues and implications for clinicians working with survivors are discussed.

Abstract Experiences of shattered dreams can cause some to lose hope and the capacity to dream new dreams and create new stories. Unless family professionals pay attention to and aid persons in grieving lost dreams, children, adults, and families may have difficulty turning the corner to hope and healing after loss. The connections among attention to losses, especially shattered dreams, the promotion of resiliency, story telling, and hope are addressed in this article.

Abstract At face value, the phrase “a good death” may present the ultimate oxymoron. To fully comprehend the goal of comeditation one must understand the fundamental needs of the dying. Comeditation's prescribed meditative and breathing techniques are adaptable to any philosophy and state of health, even for those who have never mediated before. The caregiver's opportunity to relate intimately with the consciousness of the dying in the last days leads to a sense of peace rather than remorse in the bereavement period.

Abstract A particularly poignant type of loss may be experienced by persons involved in intimate relationships in which a partner is sexually or emotionally unfaithful. As a means of exploring women's and men's perceptions about and personal experiences of unfaithfulness, approximately 140 participants completed a lengthy questionnaire relevant to close relationships. As expected, participants perceived selected gender differences in reasons for and reactions to a partner's infidelity. Based on personal reports about relationship infidelities, it appears that extrarelationship involvement is a complex issue that may result in substantial losses for relationship partners.

Abstract The present study used a two-pronged approach to investigate the meaning of loss, including a content analysis of descriptive narratives of participant stories of a death and an analysis of the Life Events Repertory Grid (Sewell et al., 1996). Common presentations and meanings in relation to loss are discussed. An attempt is made to understand how a bereaved individual conceptualizes the loss of a loved one, and existing differences between grievers who do and do not exhibit coping difficulties are examined. When applicable, popular notions in the literature concerning complicated grief reactions are investigated via repertory grid and content analysis findings. Both clinical implications of the findings and areas of further research using qualitative, individualistic methods are summarized.

Abstract In the midst of tragedy, two families made a compassionate decision that would change the lives of several fellow human beings. This article describes separate but parallel journeys taken by a donor mother and a donor father who said “yes” to organ donation, choosing to extend the circle of life. In their own words, they describe the pain of their loss, attempts at coping, and the healing they are beginning to feel years after the death of their children, Cory and Kevin. Following their experience with donation, they set forth to encourage one organ procurement organization to take a more proactive role in developing comprehensive bereavement support services that empower donor families. This article also discusses the available literature regarding the experience of organ donation as part of coping with the loss of a loved one. Some research directions are suggested.
