When a person goes missing, those left behind mourn an ambiguous loss where grief can be disenfranchised. Different to bereavement following death, hope figures into this experience as a missing person has the potential to return. This review explores hope for families of missing people. Lived experience of ambiguous loss was deconstructed to reveal responses punctuated by hope, which had practical and psychological implications for those learning to live with an unresolved absence. Future lines of enquiry must address the dearth of research exploring the role of hope, unresolved grief, and its clinical implications when a person is missing.
当一个人失踪时,留下的人会为一种模糊的损失而哀悼,这种悲伤可能得不到认可。与死亡后的丧亲之痛不同,希望在这种经历中占据一席之地,因为失踪者有可能归来。本综述探讨了失踪者家属的希望。对模糊损失的生活经历进行了解构,以揭示以希望为标志的反应,这对那些学着在亲人 unresolved absence 中生活的人具有实际和心理影响。未来的研究方向必须解决在一个人失踪时,探索希望、未解决的悲伤及其临床意义的研究匮乏的问题。 (注:这里“unresolved absence”直译为“未解决的缺席”,结合语境可能是指亲人失踪这一未解决的状况,可能翻译为“亲人失踪未决的状况”更符合语境,但按要求未添加解释。)
