Open-ended questions placed at the end of the survey allow you to ask if there is anything important that you omitted. This helps to gain closure, especially if you were asking about sensitive matters. Studies of grief find that many people will report positive outcomes following the loss of someone important to them. Open-ended questions such as "We have talked about many different aspects of your loss. Is there anything you would like to add that we did not cover?" revealed that following a loss, people often question their assumptions about what is important in life, make changes in their relationships and how they spend their time, become involved in community organizations and foundations related to the loss, and grow personally. These aspects of coping with a loss would have been missed if the participants were not given the opportunity to add the information to the structured questions.
