ABSTRACT
The hierarchical mapping technique is utilized to study individuals' social convoys (i.e., networks). Though convoys typically exclude deceased persons, the continuing bonds model argues that relationships between surviving and deceased persons can be sustained. After Death Communication (ADC), an experience where the deceased contacts surviving persons, facilitates continuing bonds. This study examines how ADC influences reports of convoys and continuing bonds. Using Labov's narrative framework, ADC narratives from 10 bereaved individuals were analyzed for content and structure. Most participants apologized, indicating their ADC experience was inexplicable. Consequently, reports of convoys and continuing bonds may be influenced by concerns of perception.
