My predominant memory of death, age 16, is of emptiness. A part of me was lost, stolen, missing. There was this hole inside that simply could not be filled however much I tried. I think we all missed him, yet, surprisingly, we never spoke about him at all....
Death shakes us. This study investigates grieving following the death of a loved one. The study comprises a literature review followed by an autoethnographic narrative inquiry of grieving.
Self-awareness and reflexivity endeavour to inform counselling practise by constructing meaning throughout the research process, avoiding the research process becoming therapeutic, cathartic and experiential, but rather analytical and informative.
It is suggested that counselling grieving clients comprises more than cognitive restructuring, behaviourism and psychopharmacology. As each person is unique, it is impossible to impose a theoretical model or time limited blueprint onto grieving individuals. Theory provides context to the very real, painful adjustment process following bereavement.
It is proposed that the main aim of grief counselling is to support individuals during the pain while they reconstruct meaning in their life without the deceased.
