A Hermeneutic Phenomenological Study of Widowhood for African-American Women
There is a dearth of bereavement and healthcare literature on the experience of widowhood for African-American women. This hermeneutic phenomenological study of 11 African-American widows used demographic questions, field notes, and in-depth interviews to understand their experience. The physical loss of the marital bond and the psychological growth toward increased independence was examined within the context of the widows' relationships with th…
Recovery Through Reconnection
Using reanalyzed data from ethnographic research performed in Taiwan during the 1990s, the authors inspect Taiwanese cultural patterns as they affect adaptation to loss in the form of death. The data include participant observations and the narratives of 52 widows and 30 of their children. An analysis of interview transcripts suggests that the most common form of return to a harmony house among the participants was achieving a sense of reconnecti…
Adaptation as Meaning Construction
Using 35 Taiwanese widows as examples, the author argues that interpretations of adaptation to spousal death must be made within a cultural context. The process of adaptation associated with spousal death is analyzed in light of data collected from personal interviews, support group discussions, diary entries, and self-narratives. Results indicate that Taiwanese widows incorporate several dynamic processes into their meaning constructions and gra…
No More the Same
This article offers a reconstruction of the life worlds of 30 adolescents, aged 9 to 18, from 20 families who have lost their fathers through death. Through interviews designed to measure the impact of culture on adolescent coping, six themes on rebuilding their lives, "no more the same," were identified: (1) isolation from death, (2) incompleteness, (3) staying inside, (4) worrying with mother, (5) building connections with fathers, and (6) rest…
A Single Leaf Orchid
Based on interviews with 35 Taiwanese widows, the authors analyze indigenous beliefs and meanings associated with spousal death. The most common death-related beliefs brought up in these widows' narratives were attributing human characteristics to or deifying deceased husbands, fearing ghosts, perceiving the presence of the deceased, describing the idea of a good death, and responding ambivalently to the traditional taboo against crying in the pr…
Making the Best of It
This article is based on a 9-month ethnographic study of a nursing home for older Jewish people. In this article, the process that 21 key informants went through in adapting to the dual nature of the nursing home as institution and as home is examined. A widely used phrase, “making the best of it,” was used by informants and other residents of the nursing home to describe this process. Interpretive analysis of this emic phrase revealed four dimen…
Coping Strategies of Taiwanese Widows Adapting to Loss
Adaptation strategies used by Taiwanese widows following the deaths of their spouses were identified and analyzed. Thirty-five Taiwanese widows representing a cross-section of such demographic features as rural/urban, ethnic background, age, and education level were interviewed. According to their descriptions, the five coping strategies most commonly used were keeping busy, shifting focus, speaking out, doing something for their deceased husband…
