Abstract
The objective of the present study was to examine the notion of post traumatic growth in relation to surviving the death of a child through suicide death. Essentially two questions were posed; what are the mechanisms that influence the post-traumatic growth trajectory for parents bereaved by suicide? Further, what the outcomes of post traumatic growth for parents bereaved by suicide? These research questions frame the thesis for the lived experiences of parents who have experienced the suicide death of their young adult child. Significantly, this study recommends the need for further investigation in order to provide a comprehensive exploration of PTG and its applicability in various context. Implications for research on posttraumatic growth and suicide survivors and treatment considerations based on these findings are discussed.
