Grief and delivering a statement in court: a longitudinal mixed-method study among homicidally bereaved people.

Participating in a criminal trial may increase the likelihood of developing psychopathology. In 2021, people bereaved by a plane disaster (flight MH17) had the opportunity to deliver a victim personal statement (VPS) in Dutch court. This longitudinal mixed-method study examined different aspects of 84 bereaved people's experiences with VPS delivery.
