Summary:
The purpose of this longitudinal case study was to describe the grief process within a military context of two parents who lost a son in combat during Operation Iraqi Freedom. The couple was interviewed three times during the year following the death of their son. The military context played a large role in post loss adjustment for the parents in terms of helping them find meaning in the loss as well as providing a source of support.
