Verstorbenen-fokussierte Trauerbewältigung

  • 1039 Accesses

Abstract

Aktuelle Modelle und Theorien der Trauer konzentrieren sich auf die Trauernden bei der Trauerbewältigung. Aus den folgenden Gründen schlägt das Verstorbenen-fokussierte Trauermodell jedoch vor, dass die Aufmerksamkeit bei der Trauerbewältigung auf den Verstorbenen gerichtet werden sollte: 1) der Verstorbene hat ebenfalls einen Verlust erlitten, 2) der Trauernde kann den Verlust besser bewältigen, indem er weniger auf sich selbst fokussiert ist, und 3) Glück und Zufriedenheit kommen nicht von der Konzentration auf sich selbst, sondern von der Konzentration auf andere. Der Verstorbenen-fokussierte Traueransatz könnte bei folgenden Punkten helfen:

  • Bedeutungsrekonstruktion

  • Entrechtete Trauer

  • Fortdauernde Bindungen

  • Normale Trauer

  • Komplizierte Trauer
