Death of an abuser: does the memory linger on?
Full Abstract
Although the fields of bereavement and traumatology regarding childhood physical and sexual abuse have developed simultaneously, little information exists regarding the issues of bereavement for a sexual abuse survivor when the decedent was the abuser. This article is a case study that examines the reactions, themes, and attributions that individuals experience regarding the loss of a relative who was sexually abusive to them during childhood and discusses the impact of that abuse on the bereavement process.
