This article describes a multidimensional model which may be applicable to study three types of loss, interpersonal loss, loss of a limb or function, and environmental loss or loss of peace of mind. It is a preliminary attempt to collate relevant variables associated with the three types of loss into one comprehensive model which assumes that the dynamic processes associated with and encountered in one area of loss can be extrapolated for use in comprehending other areas of loss. A number of testable hypotheses can be derived for future validation and research.
