Resumo: The loss of a spouse in old age is one of the most significant, but least investigated events in the life cycle. With increasing life expectancy, widowhood in older adults occurs increasingly later in the life cycle. It is an expectable event and may be advantageously conceptualized as a major psychosocial transition that involves the reconfiguration of the meaning of life and its purpose. The present article discusses some of the main models of the grieving process and the effect of some individual and contextual variables on reactions regarding the loss of a spouse. It focuses mainly on Stroebe and Schut dual process model as well as on its theoretical and practical implications.

Com o aumento da esperança de vida, a viuvez nos adultos idosos ocorre cada vez mais tarde no ciclo de vida, é um acontecimento expectável e parece haver vantagens em conceptualizá-lo como uma importante transição psico-social que implica a reconfiguração do significado da vida e dos seus propósitos. Neste artigo abordaremos alguns dos principais modelos do processo de luto e algumas variáveis individuais e contextuais que determinam reacções associadas à perda. Faremos uma particular focalização no modelo proposto por Stroebe e Schut bem como nas suas implicações teóricas e práticas.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionUniversidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)Universidade do MinhoFerreira da Silva, Maria das DoresFerreira-Alves, J.2012-01-012012-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/1822/57422por0102-797210.1590/S0102-79722012000300019info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-21T12:35:08Zoai:repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt:1822/57422Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T19:30:57.776342Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
