There is growing interest in researching posttraumatic growth and understanding how to enhance positive outcomes in trauma survivors. This study undertook a systematic exploration of the posttraumatic growth in bereaved caregivers of people with HIV/AIDS. Following a survey (n=174), in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 individuals. Quantitative and qualitative data are used to illustrate how those who had low scores of posttraumatic growth recounted positive outcomes. Methodological and clinical implications are explored.
