People with intellectual disabilities are thought to have a reduced capacity for understanding death. Drawing on cognitive theory, researchers have suggested that those with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities mainly perceive loss as a mismatch between past and present experiences. However, very little research has considered how carers conceptualize bereavement in relation to this group. Interviews conducted with carers articulated two main themes: 'difficulty articulating the experience of loss' and 'making sense of bereavement through familiar patterns'.
