Žalovanje mladostnika ob smrti starša

Blažević, Sabina (author), Zrim Martinjak, Nataša (mentor)

Diplomsko delo obravnava tematiko žalovanja in soočanja mladostnika ob smrti starša. Želela sem ugotoviti, kakšen je proces žalovanja mladostnika in kako lahko mladostniku pomagamo ob tako veliki in pomembni izgubi. V teoretičnem delu diplomskega dela so predstavljeni pojav smrti, mladostniško obdobje in njegove značilnosti, travmatski dogodek in njegov vpliv na mladostnika. V nadaljevanju je predstavljeno žalovanje. Žalovanje je edinstven proces in je pri vsakem mladostniku drugačen. Osrednji del je namenjen predstavitvi procesu žalovanja in faz, skozi katere gredo žalujoči mladostniki, ter kakšne so mladostnikove reakcije na smrt starša. Empirični del se osredotoča na raziskovanje procesa žalovanja deklet, ki sta v mladostniškem obdobju doživeli smrt starša, in o tem, kdo jima je pomagal skozi proces žalovanja in na kakšen način. Predvsem me je zanimalo, ali se pojavljajo razlike pri žalovanju med mladostnikom, ki se sooča s pričakovano smrtjo starša, in mladostnikom, ki se sooča z nenadno smrtjo starša. Rezultati so pokazali, da vsak mladostnik žaluje na svojevrsten način, pokazali so tudi to, kako pomembni so samopomoč v procesu žalovanja v tem obdobju ter vrstniki in prijatelji, ki ti nudijo podporo. Glavno spoznanje, ki izhaja iz dela, je, da je spopadanje s smrtjo enega od staršev v mladostništvu težko in boleče, zato ker je mladostništvo obdobje, v katerem se mladostnik ločuje od staršev, a jih hkrati potrebuje za iskanje sebe in prave identitete. Prav tako sem spoznala, kako dobro bi bilo za ljudi, če bi se več pogovarjali o smrti in posledično o žalovanju. Za socialno pedagogiko se mi zdi obravnava teme zelo pomembna, saj smo ravno socialni pedagogi tisti, ki bi lahko veliko prispevali k detabuiziranju pojava smrti.

• Title: Grieving adolescent: the death of a parent

Abstract

This bachelor thesis discusses the topic of grieving and the way adolescents deal with the death of a parent. I wanted to determine the process of grieving in adolescents and how they can be helped in overcoming such a great and significant loss. The theoretical part of the thesis presents the phenomenon of death, the age of adolescence and its characteristics, the traumatic event and its influence on the adolescent. Grieving is presented in the following chapter. Grieving is a unique process and is different in every adolescent. The central part of the thesis is dedicated to the grieving process and the phases those who are grieving pass through, as well as the reactions of the adolescent to a parent’s death. The empirical part focuses on exploring the grieving process of two girls that have experienced the death of a parent in their youth, as well as who has helped them through the grieving process and in what way. I especially wanted to know whether there are differences in grieving between an adolescent whose parent’s death was expected and an adolescent whose parent’s death was sudden. The results have shown that every adolescent grieves in their own way, they have also shown the importance of self-help in the grieving process at this stage and the importance of peers and friends who offer support. The main conclusion to be drawn from this thesis is that dealing with the death of a parent in adolescence is difficult and painful, because adolescence is a period where the adolescent is separating from the parents, but at the same time needs them to find themself and their true identity. I have also come to the conclusion that it would be good for people to talk more about death and consequently about grief. I find the topic important for social pedagogy, since social pedagogues are those people who could contribute much to the detabuisation of the phenomenon of death.
