Whether mourning after a suicide is more complex than other types of mourning remains a debated question in contemporary literature. However, apart from the nature of the death, other variables can also explain the complexity of the mourning-adjustment process. Among these variables, there is couple satisfaction, life satisfaction and attachment. This study has compared widows in mourning after a suicide (n = 22) and widows in mourning following a non-intentional death (n = 24). The results indicate that women mourning in relation to suicide, as opposed to those having experienced mourning due to other types of non-intentional death, have reported more psychological distress and a greater dissatisfaction towards life and the couple. On the other hand, the distress experienced is not associated with the nature of the death, but life and couple satisfaction would seem to be associated more importantly with the mourning difficulty.
