아버지 사별 경험에 대한 자전적 내러티브 탐구

Abstract

Objectives This study was conducted to understand the impact and meaning of the experience of bereavement of a father due to a sudden accident in adulthood and the prolonged grief that followed.
 Methods To this end, the narrative inquiry method of Clandinin and Connelly was used. As a researcher and re-search participant, I collected data through memory recall and self-analysis journals, SNS data, personal counsel-ing records, and interviews with family members to explore my experiential meaning, and through in-depth writ-ing that deeply reveals the emotions after bereavement.
 Results These are the attempt to validate the research. As for the research data, the death of my father, whom I identified with, was the same as my death, which made me face painful feelings that could not be resolved for a long time. I re-explored death, which I had suppressed, on an emotional level, and in the process, I reflected on the meaning of sadness and pain and had a self-healing experience. As a result, I was able to express the sadness of my father's bereavement as it is without suppressing my sadness any longer.
 Conclusions In the conclusion and recommendations, based on the research results, counseling solutions and tasks, such as counselors' opinions on bereavement counseling and the degree of acceptance and approach, are described and the significance of the research is addressed.
