Abstract
This study is a qualitative meta-analysis of Korean qualitative research articles on the content, healing, and overcoming of complicated grief among children of suicide survivors who lost their parents to suicide. Researchers analyzed 11 qualitative papers published in Korea and summarized them into descriptive, comprehensive, and core themes. The core themes were ‘pain in the fog’, ‘role of the beam in a fragile rafter’, ‘double whammy of guilt and blame’, ‘chain of loss’, ‘psycho-emotional burnout’, ‘pain of social isolation and seclusion’, ‘persistent grief’, ‘suicide lure’, ‘standing alone’, ‘gift of reconciliation with a deceased parent’, ‘expression of resilience through self-encouragement’, ‘being honest with oneself’, ‘rebuilding a collapsed self-world’, and ‘growing as a spiritual being’. Researchers categorized this into the content of complicated grief, the healing of complicated grief, and the outcome of healing from complicated grief. Based on study results, the development and implementation of case management models for families and children of suicide survivors, and programs for reconciliation with suicidal parents were suggested.
