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. El objetivo del presente estudio consistió en comparar el crecimiento postraumático (PTG), resiliencia, el optimismo y la gratitud entre: deudos por COVID-19, deudos por otras causas y personas que no experimentaron la pérdida de un ser querido (no deudos) durante la pandemia. Se trató de un estudio cuantitativo, transversal y comparativo donde se contó con una muestra no probabilística de 373 mujeres y hombres de población general de México. Los resultados indicaron que las personas que no experimentaron la pérdida de un ser querido obtuvieron puntajes superiores de resiliencia, optimismo y gratitud, sin embargo, los deudos por COVID-19 fueron quienes obtuvieron los mayores puntajes de PTG; los deudos por otras causas fueron el grupo con menores puntajes en todas las variables de estudio. Las personas que perdieron a un ser querido por causas no relacionada directamente a COVID-19, fueron quienes se encuentran en mayor vulnerabilidad, por lo que la atención a estos deudos, debe ser clave para fomentar su bienestar.
