Time Will Tell: Pathways to Prolonged Grief, Pathways to Acceptance Holly G. Prigerson, PhD Irving Sherwood Wright Professor of Geriatrics Professor of Sociology in Medicine Weill Cornell Medical College Director, Center for Research on End-of-Life Care Cornell University Presentation Overview “Is this grief reaction normal?” “Am I going crazy?” “Will I feel better and, if so, when?” “Is this grief a problem, and if yes, What can be done about it?” Presentation Overview These are common questions that: bereaved people ask themselves their family members wonder clinicians often struggle to answer and address They are also the questions you should be able to answer after this talk At the end of this talk you should know how to: 1. Distinguish normal grief from PGD, & specifically how to a. diagnose PGD 2 Know who is at risk for PGD 3. Know outcomes of PGD – why clinicians should care 4. Understand core therapeutic issues in PGD Putting Bereavement in Context Bereavement is a normal, common life event ~ 52 million people die/year (or 142,000/day) worldwide • That is, almost as many people die per year as the entire population of France 100% of us will die; risk increases with age Not a rare or typically unnatural event! What is the normative circumstance of bereavement? Despite disproportionate media attention, most deaths do NOT involve younger people dying traumatic deaths Most US deaths occur in later life 75% deaths occur in people over 65 yrs 50% women over age 65 are widows Only 6% US deaths from unnatural causes (1.5% motor vehicle; 1.2% firearms); 94% natural causes Epidemiology of bereavement in France 66 million is population of France; 8.5/1000 death rate= 561,000 deaths/yr in France ± 3 survivors ±1.7 million bereaved survivors/yr in France Most will come to accept the loss over time (90%); ± 10% will not ± 170,000 bereaved people/year in France with PGD Question: How do you know if a grief reaction is normal? Answer: Time will tell. Time … Heals most wounds path of acceptance ~90% of bereavement reactions are “normal” Most people gradually adjust/accommodate to the loss But time …doesn’t heal all wounds path to Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) ~10% will follow an unending path of sorrow These are the people who may benefit from help For typical bereavement (e.g., late-life widowhood after natural death) … Most bereaved people accept death, even initially Acceptance increases with time from loss On scale where: 1= < 1/mo; 2= monthly; 3= weekly; 4=daily; 5= > 1X/day Maciejewski, Zhang, Block, Prigerson JAMA 2007 Maciejewski, Zhang, Block, Prigerson JAMA 2007 Indicator Rating 5.0 Acceptance 4.0 Yearning 3.0 Grief Disbelief Sadness 2.0 Anger 1.0 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 Time From Loss (months) Prigerson, Maciejewski BJP 2010 Grief is wanting something you love but can’t have Acceptance is letting go of wanting/craving, is associated with declining emotional distress over the loss Grief Resolution for those who do and do not meet criteria for PGD Grief score 50 Prolonged Grief 1 40 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 11 1 1 11 1 11 1 1 1 30 1 1 11 1 00 0 0 0 00 0 0 00 00 000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0000 000 0 0 00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00 0 0 000 0 0 0 00 0 0 0 0 0 10 1 1 1 1 1 20 1 1 1 0 Not Prolonged Grief 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 20 30 40 Months from the death 50 60 PGD reflects chronic distress, but is it a psychiatric disorder? Phenomenology: Symptoms distinct from other DSM-5 and ICD-11 disorders (MDD, PTSD) Risk Factors: Distinctive risk factors/etiology Outcomes: PGD independently associated with distress & disability Response to Treatment: PGD unresponsive to certain antidepressant treatments Prolonged Grief Disorder Differs from Other Psychiatric Disorders . . .

A Population-Based Study • Study: Rotterdam Study “no grief” (control group, N=4731), “normal grief” (N=615), “complicated grief” (N=155) • Result: CG participants had lower scores for Letter-digit test, Word fluency test, and smaller brain volumes than controls • Conclusion: CG participants performed poorly on cognitive tests and had a smaller total brain volume. This suggests there is a neurological correlate of complicated but not of normal grief in the elderly Saavedra Pérez …Tiemeier Psychological Medicine 2014 Craving love? Enduring grief activates brain's reward center • Study: Bereaved women (11 CG, 12 NCG) fMRI scan of pictures of deceased • Result: Only those with PGD showed reward-related activity in nucleus accumbens (NA). This NA cluster was positively correlated with self-reported yearning, but not with time since death, participant age, or positive/negative affect • Conclusion: Shows attachment activates reward pathways. For those with PGD, reminders of the deceased still activate neural reward activity, which may interfere adapting to the loss in the present Something pleasurable that may make grief resolution akin to withdrawal of addiction.

Why Intervene? On Whom to Intervene? • Vast majority fine and gradually . . . • Move from very upset, disturbed to diminished distress, eventual adjustment • Questionable whether would benefit from intervention • Significant minority not fine and time won’t heal; • At risk for enduring distress and dysfunction (“eternal path of sorrow”) • Interventions improve their quality of life; potentially reduce adverse outcomes: • Social withdrawal, suicidality, alcohol abuse, high blood pressure, functional disability, loss of productivity When to intervene? Really Early Intervention: • Pre-loss in caregivers who are very dependent and have high levels of pre-loss grief (PG-12) • Benefits of preparation for the death: • Promotes accept of death, reduces grief • Opportunity to say goodbye • Fewer regrets • Result in better quality of death better bereavement outcomes Litz’ Healing Experiences After Loss (HEAL) •Litz suggests early post-loss period a time of re-establishing healthy routines •Online, CBT-based preventive intervention •Early intervention speedier rate of recovery HEAL (Healthy Experiences After Loss) • PI: Litz; NIMH R-34 indicated prevention • Internet-based, professional-assisted • Online, CBT-based preventive intervention • Wait-list controlled RCT • Targeting bereaved at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute HEAL’s Approach to Prevention • 18 logons 6-weeks • Modules: promote self-care, accommodation of loss, enhanced self-efficacy, pleasurable activities, reattachment • Web interface text-driven but interactive • Homework-based approach • Professional oversight HEAL Outcome Data Time 1 Waitlist M SD Time 2 Immediate M Waitlist SD M SD Immediate M SD Time X Condition d PG-13 34.99 7.46 34.39 8.11 32.84 9.11 24.70 8.33 F(1, 74.10) = 29.04** 1.19 BDI 37.65 8.01 38.08 8.20 36.15 8.67 30.80 7.60 F(1, 72.63) = 14.19** .79 PCL 38.33 11.28 39.73 11.99 37.31 12.74 28.11 10.06 F(1,71.87) = 27.68** 1.02 BAI 31.52 7.52 35.22 11.16 30.31 6.78 29.18 9.39 F(1,73.99) = 10.68* .53 Note. *p<.01. **p<.001.

CBT-based Psychotherapies • Complicated Grief Therapy (Shear, 2005, 2014) • Psycho-ed about normal and CG • Dual process of adaptive coping – adjust to loss & restoration of satisfying life (goals defined with motivational enhancement) • Model: Grief is a trauma, people avoid trauma; exposure-based therapy reduces/desensitizes distress re: trauma • Exposure for traumatic avoidance – imagined conversation with deceased; retelling the death scene • Prolonged Grief Therapy (Bryant, 2014) CBT with exposure therapy where patients relive the experience of a death of a loved one, resulted in greater reductions in measures of prolonged grief disorder (PGD) than CBT alone • Boelen 2007; O’Donnell Tanzanian orphans 2014; Rosner German outpatients 2014 “optimal gains with PGD patients are achieved when the emotions associated with the memories of the death and the sequelae of the loss are fully accessed. ... Despite the distress elicited by engaging with memories of the death, this strategy does not lead to aversive responses. In light of evidence that many interventions provided to grieving people are not empirically supported, the challenge is to foster better education of clinicians through evidence-supported interventions to optimize adaptation to the loss as effectively as possible," Bryant “Treating PGD: A Randomized Clinical Trial” JAMA Psychiatry 2014 Conclusions Now (I hope) you know: • • • • • How to distinguish normal grief from PGD Diagnose PGD Tell if someone is at risk for PGD Know outcomes of PGD Understand core therapeutic issues in PGD Our time together has come to a close.
