This document contains the following 3 sheets:

The grey-headed columns (B – E) include data from basic questions about the respondent’s age, gender, nationality, and whether they identify as currently grieving or having experienced grief in the past. 

The green-headed column contains basic information about who the person who died was (e.g., ‘Mother’, ‘Aunt’, etc.).
