本文探讨了创伤性死亡幸存者部分社会支持失败的原因。这些数据是基于对1997年8月1日至1998年12月31日期间因自杀、婴儿猝死综合症或事故而失去子女的69名父母的深入访谈。尽管他们的社会网络提供了相当多的积极支持，但大多数幸存者也经历了一些无益的遭遇或缺乏预期的支持。网络成员经常发现很难以一种有用的方式传达支持，这被称为“社交无能”。“网络的这种无能是因为缺乏规范来指导这种不寻常的社会交往。失去亲人的父母声称，“开放”和坦率的情况是他们最好的授权策略，以满足这种“社会无能”。“这些概念在幸存者的叙述中得到阐述，是从沟通和互动的角度加以讨论的。一个微观社会学的传播模型为讨论提供了参考框架。
This article explores the reasons why parts of the social support to survivors of traumatic deaths fail. The data is based on in-depth interviews with 69 parents who lost their offspring due to suicide, SIDS, or accident between August 1, 1997 and December 31, 1998. Despite considerable positive support from their social network, the majority of the survivors also experienced some unhelpful encounters or lack of anticipated support. Network members often find it difficult to communicate support in a way that is helpful, and this is termed "social ineptitude." This ineptitude on the part of networks is explained by the lack of norms to guide this uncommon type of social encounter. The bereaved parents claim that "openness" and frankness about their situation is their best empowering strategy to meet this "social ineptitude." These concepts, as they are elaborated in survivors' accounts are discussed within a communicational and interactional perspective. A micro-sociological model of communication provides the frame of reference for the discussion.
