| Summary: | The aim of the present study was to compare post traumatic growth (PTG), resilience, optimism and gratitude among: COVID-19 bereaved, bereaved for other causes and people who did not experience the loss of a loved one (no bereaved) during the pandemic. This was a quantitative, cross-sectional and comparative study with a non-probabilistic sample of 373 women and men of general population from Mexico. The results indicated that people who did not experience the loss of a loved one obtained higher scores of resilience, optimism and gratitude, however, bereaved people due to COVID-19 were those who obtained the highest scores of PTG; bereaved people due to other causes were the group with the lowest scores in all study variables. The people who lost a loved one due to causes not directly related to COVID-19 were those who are most vulnerable, so care for these bereaved must be key to promote their well-being. |
