Abstract: Gender and grief are two topics quite recently included in the area of scientific research. Even more actual is the approach of grieving from the gender point of view. Do men and women react in the same way when confronted with the loss of a loved one? Do men and women follow the same patterns of grieving? Psychologists have tried to provide answers for these imperative questions and developed specific instruments for measuring and evaluating the differences and the common traits. The results are still in strong debate but the way is already open. My presentation will analyze the main scientific inquiries in the field and their potential for better understanding and support of grieving persons, men and/or women.
