Description
Summary:The purpose of this study is to explore the phenomenon of loneliness that men experience after the loss of their spouse. It contains research to enlightens the occurrence, meaning and perception of loneliness after the loss of a spouse. The research is founded in practical theology and researched from within a postmodernity paradigm, with a social constructionist discourse as epistemological point of departure as it is expressed in the narrative hermeneutic approach. Several actions subjacent to participatory action research are employed and form part of a qualitative research. Mechanisms of the narrative approach that resonate with the principles of participatory action research are used to collect the information. Valueable significant alternatives to cope with loneliness are explored by using the conversational approach. Anthropological paradigms are clarified from the view that a human being is a complex entity that constructs his/her own circumstances through narratives. Important findings of this research are that men can experience loneliness after the loss of a spouse and they are in need of a attachment figure to help them to cope with loneliness.
