Grieving is an experience of deep mental suffering. It is a very individual process. Grief over the loss of a spouse can have an impact on both physical and mental health. In the case of an acute or critical event, it will be harder for the spouse to adjust to and accept death, which can lead to mental health problems. Gender is one of the factors that influence the grieving process. There is a more profound understanding of grief in men than in women.
The study aims to understand widows' perception, experience, and meaning of loss and grieving.
A case report reviewed the life experiences of loss and grieving of Indonesian wife who had lost their husbands because of a critical illness. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with Individuals. It was conducted using Zoom and recorded. The analysis method uses thematic analysis.
Four major themes were described in the case: experiencing the pain of the loss, searching for the meaning of being lost, embracing the new being, and exploring unmet needs in a widow. From this case, it can be concluded that grieving is a complex and dynamic process.
In grieving, women express solid and varied emotions and focus on their need to be understood and accompanied. They experience a transition from an experience of anger and emptiness to a sense of finding meaning in their loss and becoming more able to engage with life. The child is an essential factor in the grieving process, as it keeps participants engaged in the world even when faced with the immediate effects of grief.
悲伤是一种深刻的精神痛苦体验。它是一个非常个体化的过程。配偶离世带来的悲伤会对身心健康产生影响。在急性或重大事件的情况下，配偶更难适应和接受死亡，这可能导致心理健康问题。性别是影响悲伤过程的因素之一。相较于女性，男性对悲伤有更深刻的理解。
本研究旨在了解寡妇对丧失和悲伤的认知、经历及意义。
一项病例报告回顾了因重病失去丈夫的印度尼西亚妻子的丧失和悲伤生活经历。通过对个体进行深入访谈收集数据。访谈通过Zoom进行并录音。分析方法采用主题分析法。
该病例描述了四个主要主题：经历丧失之痛、探寻丧失的意义、接纳新的自我、探索寡妇未满足的需求。从这个病例可以得出结论，悲伤是一个复杂且动态的过程。
在悲伤过程中，女性表达出强烈且多样的情感，并关注自身被理解和陪伴的需求。她们经历了从愤怒和空虚的体验到在丧失中找到意义并更能融入生活的转变。孩子是悲伤过程中的一个重要因素，因为即使面对悲伤的直接影响，孩子也让参与者与外界保持联系。
