Abstract
The purpose of this study was to gather descriptive information about the natural interactions between adult grievers and music. The survey gathered quantitative and qualitative data and yielded a response rate of .06% (141/2547). Results revealed that the majority of participants (94%) intentionally used music during their grief journey. Unique roles of music in grief were discovered and insights were offered as a pattern emerged that reflected the Dual Process Model of Grief (Stroebe & Schut, Citation1999). Future research in this area may contribute to a greater understanding of the natural interactions between grievers and music.
