The purpose of this study was to determine rates of prolonged grief in young spouses or partners and the associations between prolonged grief and personality styles (specifically, narcissistic, histrionic, and obsessive), trauma history, and the perceived meaning of the loss in the young conjugally bereaved.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Participants and method<\/jats:title><jats:p>Participants between 20 and 50\u2009years old who lost a spouse\/partner to cancer 6\u2009months\u20133\u2009years prior to the study completed the following measures during one time point (via phone or in person interviews): Prolonged Grief\u201013, Traumatic Life Events Questionnaire, Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory\u2010III, and Grief Meaning Reconstruction Inventory.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fifty\u2010six spouses and partners (51.8% women) completed the interviews (mean age: 44.54\u2009\u00b1\u20094.20\u2009years). The participants (49.1%) reported elevated rates of prolonged grief and 12.3% of the participants were diagnosed with prolonged grief with the recently published diagnostic algorithm. Bivariate analyses demonstrated an association between prolonged grief and negative meaning of the loss (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.73; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01) and the frequency of the traumatic events (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.23; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).
