In the present study, detailed interviews were conducted through Constructivist Grounded Theory (CGT) methodology with parents whose children died. At the end of this research, a theoretical model of parental mourning, including critical dimensions of grief and life after death, was presented. The model contains three modes of mourning; Lifeless Mourning, Mourning Through Action, and Muted/Forbidden Mourning. These three different mourning experiences of parents had different background aspects regarding parental attributions to cause of death, guilt and blame, identification with the deceased child, parental struggles to cope, and the reconstruction of self and identity.
