Grief in Women Religious 48 may indicate that if social support and spirituality were examined separately for each lifestyle with larger samples, results may have found these variables to be significant predictors of grief. Therefore, attempts to gather a larger sample size is important for future research. For that reason, it is essential that contemplative women religious be encouraged to participate in this type of research. This may necessitate educational programs, seminars, and/or journal articles that address the relevance of examining grief related issues in women religious. Furthermore, the restricted and secluded nature of the contemplative life makes group research such as this extremely difficult. An additional factor that may be interesting to examine in future research with women religious is neuroticism. McCrae and Costa (2003) describe neuroticism as the likeliness of a person to experience unpleasant emotions that lead to disturbing thoughts and actions. According to these researchers, individuals who are high in neuroticism are likely to be high in traits such as anxiety, anger, depression, self-consciousness, impulsivity and vulnerability. Furthermore, high neuroticism leads to problematic interpersonal relationships and difficulties coping with negative events (McCrae & Cossta, 2003). In addition, Kenel (1983) indicates a relation between depression, anger and grief. Therefore, neuroticism may influence the grief process and be an important factor to investigate in future research with bereaved women religious. Moreover, future research may consider addressing a longer length of time since the loss occurred, closeness to the deceased, coping styles, the role of personal growth during bereavement and the limited emotional contact that contemplative women religious may encounter. From this type of research, mental health care providers may identity key factors that may result in unique treatment needs for women religious. Therefore, women
Grief in Women Religious 49 religious may benefit psychologically and spiritually, from research on grief, which will lead to healthier and more productive lives. In addition, as women religious in the United States continue to examine their lifestyle and adapt to changes in society, it is important to study differences in the grief process of this distinct population due to their belief system and the nature of their environment. It may be interesting to further explore the relative contribution of spirituality and particular components of lifestyle on grief resolution in this specific group of women. Research findings may help women religious better understand bereavement, identity variables that create supportive local communities and clarify the role of spirituality in the grief process.
