Cover Story: In this Swedish pilot study among beavered parents, the focus was on meaning-making coping from a cultural perspective. Two kinds of coping strategies were in focus: secular existential coping, and religious/spiritual coping. The sample size was 162. As the results show, religious coping methods were the lowest in the ranking of all reported coping methods. The most prevalent coping methods were clearly the secular existential ones. The most common method was talking to others about their feelings, followed by pondering the meaning of life alone and being in nature for greater emotional affiliation. The reason can be found in the strong dominance of secular culture in Swedish society and the fact that religion does not play an important role for the majority of Swedish people. View this paper
