Abstract: Five grief group counseling sessions were conducted for six college students from S University in Guangdong Province to evaluate the effectiveness, therapeutic factors, and intervention mechanism of the grief counseling group-based intervention for bereaved college students. Results showed that group-based grief counseling interventions can, to some extent, help members regulate their grief emotions, deepen their understanding of life, enhance their social support during grief, and assist them in reconstructing the meaning of life. The intervention mechanism includes the following four aspects: using arts to provide a non-verbal communication channel; promoting life awareness through group expression; facilitating social support for grief through interpersonal interaction; and encouraging the expression of the meaning of life through contemplation of bereavement. To assist bereaved students go through the grieving stage smoothly, colleges and universities need to pay more attention to bereaved students, carry out grief counseling groups reasonably, incorporate specialized life education courses into the compulsory curriculum, enhance students’ understanding of life and death, and promote awareness of end-of-life care and advance directives.

Key words: bereaved students, death grief, grief counseling, group intervention
