Abstract：
:The anniversary of a death is perceived as a difficult time by the majority of closely bereaved relatives and friends. Bereavement anniversary cards are supportive and useful in the context of wider follow-up. This study identified no strong predictors to indicate those for whom such a card would be inappropriate. Several recipients thought that the card solicited financial support for the hospice.
