Widowhood in old age
Meaning of the Death of an Elderly Father
Multiple bereaved adult children, as siblings, have rarely been studied. We expand the paradigm of bereavement research to explore the ways that two sisters describe the experience and meaning of the death of their elderly father. The two sisters each participated in two separate qualitative ethnographic interviews, followed by standard qualitative analyses of the transcribed narratives. The findings yield contrasting perspectives of the sisters'…

How Family Members Respond to Residents' Wish to Die
Living and dying are inextricably associated in nursing homes. It is not unusual for old nursing home residents to express a wish to die. This article examines interwoven patterns of family responses to resident's wish to die. As part of a multi-site ethnographic study of bereavement in long-term care, we analyzed themes in audio-transcribed in-depth qualitative interviews with 20 family members in two religiously and culturally diverse nursing h…
The Metaphor of "Family" in Staff Communication About Dying and Death
The family metaphor provides cultural scripts that enable staff to overcome barriers to the expression of grief. The family metaphor structures the meaning for staff of death and bereavement, and it provides a bridge between their work and personal experience
The Role of Gender in Middle-Age Children's Responses to Parent Death
The impact of the deaths of the last surviving elderly parent of 212 middle-aged children was studied. Daughters expressed more emotional upset, somatic response, and continuing tie with the deceased parent than sons; sons reported more acceptance of the death than daughters. The child's gender was not associated with a sense of personal finitude or control of grief. When we control in regressions for characteristics of the parent, the child, and…
Middle-Aged Son's Reactions to Father's Death
This article concerns the domain of men's grief and bereavement. It reports on findings from a research project in which we qualitatively interviewed, in a 2 × 2 design, middle-aged sons and daughters concerning the meaning of the death of their widowed elderly mother or father. We interviewed forty-three sons who recently experienced the death of their widowed father. We suggest that the normative model of bereavement is feminized and does not a…

Impact of the Death of an Adult Child on Elderly Parents
The impact of the death of an adult child on elderly parents has received little attention. Yet, findings indicate that 10 percent of all elderly parents had a child die after the parent was age sixty. Five generic themes evoked by the death of a child are explored: untimeliness, uniqueness of the parent-child bond, impact on intergenerational relations, loss of social supports, and hope for the future. Implications for research, clinical interve…
Some Aspects of the Elderly Widow(er)'s Persistent Tie with the Deceased Spouse
An elderly widow(er) often carries deep attachments to the deceased spouse. Elements of grief persist over many years. In spite of the loss, separation, and grief, five themes of the marital tie continue throughout widowhood: caring–an affirmation of continuing affection; intimacy–a unique sharing and sense of mutual importance; family feeling–a deep sense of biological kinship and bondedness; commitment–intended continuity of the relationship; a…
The Impact of Parental Death on Middle Aged Children
There has been a paucity of literature dealing with the impact of the death of a parent upon a middle-aged child, and a number of reasons for this are explored. The quality of the bond between adult children and their parents is examined, focusing on those aspects which tend to strengthen or weaken this tie. Reaction to parental death involves the dialectic between the persistence and breaking of the bond and between the themes of finitude and pe…
Threat to place a child
The threat to place a child is a common theme in clinical work with parents and children. While most parents do not follow through with their threat to place, the threat itself is an important issue. This paper discusses the conditions that often precipitate a parent's decision to threaten a child with placement, as well as the responses to that threat by both parent and child
Surrogate mother-child relationships
Many children are raised by a surrogate mother after loss of their biological mother. The process of developing a relationship between the child and surrogate is complicated by the image of the biological parent. Interactional difficulties, highlighted by separation and loss, must be worked through to establish a viable bond
