“…A variation of this theme, where the narratives and emotions are organized with a negatively perceived message for the bereaved yield different results. These findings dovetail with research analyzing the nature of the construction of the deceased with bereaved adults in treatment (Horowitz, Wilner, Marmar, & Krupnick, 1980) and the narrative responses of children (Silverman, Nickman, & Worden, 1992;Silverman, Baker, Cait, & Boerner, 2003). The potential for both positive and negative contributions of the relationship have been documented.…”

This article examines how varieties of the continuing relationship to the deceased child are associated with life functioning among bereaved parents. The research employed a longitudinal design utilizing both quantitative and qualitative research methodology. Six bereaved parents who lost sons in war and who had extensive interview material and research protocols spaced 10 years apart were selected for this study. Half had improved over time and half had not improved or deteriorated. Analyses of the ongoing relationship to the deceased focused upon: (a) perceptions of the deceased and (b) nature of the ongoing relationship to the deceased son. On perception, parents who improved tended to describe their sons in very favorable terms. The parents whose condition remained static or deteriorated tended to describe their sons less positively, and with superficial and shallow descriptions. Regarding the nature of the ongoing relationship, parents whose condition improved over the years describe a close and significant relationship with the son. We conclude that while the relationship to the son continues for all the bereaved parents, it is how the deceased is recollected that is associated with the direction of bereavement outcome.

“…It would be fruitful for future 836 W. Packman et al research to examine maladaptive as well as adaptive expressions of continuing bonds expressions. Related research has described parentally bereaved ''high-risk'' children and adolescents as having had a continuing bond with the deceased that was primarily negative (Silverman et al, 2003). In the case of siblings, an investigation of unhealthy=maladaptive continuing bonds would be of particular interest in the context of an unhealthy or dysfunctional family (i.e., where there is lack of good caregiving, lack of talking about the death, parentification, neglectful=abusive parents).…”

Sibling Bereavement and Continuing Bonds

et al. 2006

Historically, from a Freudian and medical model perspective, emotional disengagement from the deceased was seen as essential to the successful adaptation of bereavement. A major shift in the bereavement literature has occurred and it is now generally accepted that despite the permanence of physical separation, the bereaved remains involved and connected to the deceased and can be emotionally sustained through continuing bonds. The majority of literature has focused on adults and on the nature of continuing bonds following the death of a spouse. In this article, the authors demonstrate how the continuing bonds concept applies to the sibling relationship. We describe the unique continued relationship formed by bereaved children and adolescents following a sibling loss, highlight the factors that influence the siblings continuing bonds expressions, and offer clinical interventions. In our view, mental health professionals can play an important role in helping parents encourage activities that may facilitate the creation and maintenance of continuing bonds in their children.

ÖZET Çocuklar için ölüm, kavranması ve kabullenilmesi zor bir durumdur. Bu nedenle çocukların ölüme verdikleri yas tepkisi, yaş gruplarına ve içinde bulundukları kültüre göre farklı şekillerde yaşanabilir. Kardeşin ölümü ise yaşayan kardeş üzerinde derin bir etki bırakabilir ve çocuğun yaşamını geri dönüşsüz bir şekilde değiştirebilir. Kardeşin ölümü nedeniyle yaşanan yas tepkileri sıklıkla uzun bir zaman sürecinde yaşanan büyük üzüntüyü ve depresyonu içerebilir. Bu deneyimi yaşayan çocuklar, özellikle hastalığın oluştuğu ve ölümün beklendiği süreçte ebeveynlerin de kendi yas süreçlerine odaklanmalarından dolayı, aileden sınırlı destek alabilir, daha az iletişim kurabilirler ya da ihmale uğrayabilir ve görünmez olduklarını hissedebilirler. Bu durum onların korku, öfke, anksiyete ya da depresyon yaşamalarına neden olabilir. Hemşireler, hastalık sürecinin her aşamasında aile, hasta çocuk ve kardeşle iletişim halinde olmaları nedeniyle kardeşlerinin ölümünü yaşayan çocukları desteklemede, sağlık personelleri arasında önemli bir role sahiptir. Hemşire, yas sürecindeki ebeveynlere ve kardeşlere vereceği eğitim ve uygun yaklaşımla yas sürecini uyumlu bir şekilde yaşayabilmelerine destek olabilir ve uyumsuz yas süreci yaşayan ebeveynleri ve çocukları erken dönemde fark edip, girişimlerini buna göre planlamalıdır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Yas süreci, kardeş, hemşire ABSTRACT Death is a hard situation to understand and accept for children. Therefore the grieving reaction of children in death situation may be different regarding to age group or cultural back ground of children. Death of a sibling may make a profound impact to the living sibling and may make irreversible changes in the living sibling's life. Grieving reactions which are caused by the death of siblings can commonly cause major sorrow and depression. Children who experienced this situation can get less support from their parents because of parents' own grief or they can communicate less and may feel neglected and invisible. This situation may cause them to feel frightened, angry, anxious and depressed. Nurses have an important role among the other health care professionals to support the children who experienced sibling's death because nurses are always in touch with parents, sick children and their siblings at every stages of disease process. Nurse can support parents and siblings to live their grief process in a harmonius way by appropriate approach and education or nurses may notice earlier parents and siblings who are living the grief process inappropriately and should plan the nursing interventions according to them. Keywords: Process of grieving, sibling, nurse. GirişKayıp, birey için önemli ve değerli nesnelerin (kişi, organ, işlev, obje, hayvan vb.) yitirilmesi ya da ölüm sonucu kişinin hayatından uzaklaşması anlamına gelmektedir. Ölüm, evrensel bir olgudur ve aslında doğmak kadar yaşamın bir parçası ve doğal bir süreçtir. Ancak kayıp yaşayan kişiye acı ve keder duyguları yaşatır ve birey yas süre-cine girer.
