Abstract

The present article investigates into the world of those who live a process of bereavement and how beliefs, chance, and nature interweave to form a network of meanings that adds humanity to the process of living. The paper addresses the reconstruction of meanings in bereavement and in understanding the process. The reconstruction of meanings allows the mourners to remake a new changing world that has led to the loss. We, therefore, seek to understand what happens when a series of events reveal the adaptive meaning of new beliefs and the self-understanding of the loss, providing faithful explanations narrated by those who have lived it. Many events are part of stories of parents who lost children, and some events by themselves are considered extraordinary, giving sense to the characters, the story, and the consequences in a different and special way. We call these events “coincidences,” which have an effect and power, and transcend the meanings of what has been, surpassing the emotional or intellectual by the confluence of events and meaning, that of Carl G. Jung called “Synchronicity”.

  • También podemos ver como el cambio externo de nuestras vidas, provoca en nuestras mentes una transformación subjetiva no sólo de la mente y del corazón, sino también de los sentimientos y, sin lugar a dudas, de los ideales en las que la pérdida tiene un capítulo importante en nuestra historia vital que hace de nexo a modo de equilibrio entre los aspectos materiales y espirituales de nuestro ser, pues nos hace conscientes de quienes somos y de lo que es realmente importante
