Dual Process Model of Grief — The dual process model of grief, developed by Margaret Stroebe and Henk Schut, describes movement between attending to the loss and attending to life changes following the loss. Loss-oriented coping includes remembering and mourning, while restoration-oriented coping includes managing responsibilities and developing new routines or roles. The model emphasizes movement between these demands rather than a fixed sequence of emotional stages.
