This feminist qualitative study investigates spousal bereavement experiences of Turkish martyr spouses within the context of gender regime, based on semi-structured interviews with 21 martyr spouses. From on the thematic analysis of these interviews, this study demonstrates that (1) the spousal bereavement process was complicated conjointly by traumatic and military context as well as martyrdom, (2) this complexity created conditions requiring struggle, and (3) coping resources were available to deal with this complexity. Further, it presents "how the Turkish gender regime affected the spousal bereavement process of martyr spouses." This study finds that martyr spouses' steps toward back to normal life, namely recovery after loss, were not supported or acknowledged by society. The authors propose the concept of "disenfranchised recovery" to explain this situation, based on concept of disenfranchised grief.
这项女权主义定性研究基于对 21 名烈士配偶的半结构化访谈，调查了土耳其烈士配偶在性别制度背景下的丧偶经历。通过对这些访谈的主题分析，本研究表明：（1）丧偶过程由于创伤和军事背景以及烈士身份而变得复杂；（2）这种复杂性创造了需要斗争的条件；（3）应对资源可用于处理这种复杂性。此外，它还介绍了“土耳其性别制度如何影响烈士配偶的丧偶过程”。本研究发现，烈士配偶重返正常生活的步骤，即失去后的恢复，并没有得到社会的支持或认可。作者基于被剥夺的悲伤的概念，提出了“被剥夺的恢复”这一概念来解释这种情况。
