Recent studies investigate grief among soldiers who experienced combat loss, but little research exists on the qualitative lived experience of such an event. In this study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with soldiers (n = 19) who lost a comrade (3-21 years ago) to delve into their bereavement process. The reflexive thematic analysis of soldiers' accounts identified six main themes: (1) an unexpected and shattering experience; (2) emotional dissociation; (3) detachment from the outside world; (4) group formation; (5) accommodating the bereaved family; and (6) life-long impact. These themes were positioned on four distinct circles relating to the self and the surrounding social systems, indicating how soldiers' grief unfolds and remains encapsulated and disenfranchised. The findings emphasize the value of peer support groups that should be facilitated and encouraged by official bodies-even years after-as part of providing social recognition.
最近的研究调查了经历过战斗损失的士兵的悲伤情绪，但关于这种事件的定性生活体验的研究很少。在这项研究中，对 19 名（3-21 年前）失去战友的士兵进行了半结构化访谈，深入探讨他们的丧亲过程。对士兵叙述的反思性主题分析确定了六个主要主题：(1) 意外和毁灭性的经历；(2) 情感分离；(3) 与外界脱节；(4) 群体形成；(5) 照顾丧亲家庭；以及 (6) 终身影响。这些主题被定位在与自我和周围社会系统相关的四个不同的圆圈中，表明了士兵的悲伤是如何展开的，以及如何被包裹和剥夺权利的。研究结果强调了同伴支持小组的价值，官方机构应该在几年后甚至更早的时候为其提供便利和鼓励，作为社会认可的一部分。
