Meaning-Centered Grief Therapy (MCGT)
MCGT is a manualized, one-on-one intervention that uses psychoeducation, experiential exercises, and homework focusing on themes related to meaning, identity, purpose, and legacy. Post-intervention qualitative exit interviews will assess acceptability of the MCGT intervention (see Appendix I). Participants randomized to MCGT will provide their feedback about MCGT and the measures (n = 33).
Supportive Psychotherapy (SP)
