Hogan Grief Reaction Checklist

The Hogan Grief Reaction Checklist (HGRC) is a 61-item comprehensive measure developed by Nancy S. Hogan and colleagues in 2001 to assess the full spectrum of grief reactions—encompassing not only grief distress and symptoms but also post-loss growth and resilience. Unique among grief instruments, the HGRC explicitly measures positive outcomes of bereavement (personal growth, meaning, strengthened relationships), reflecting contemporary understanding that grief can coexist with adaptive change.
