| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 心理學系 === 106 === This research aims to enrich understanding to the experiences of ‘bereavement’ / ‘grief experiences’ towards the bereaved family after the cancer death event. Nowadays, most of the grief counseling or intervention is adopted the adaptive view. However, there are subjectively / objectively defined dilemma, as well as the controversy over the concealment of disclosive feelings of the bereaved. Then this study further reviewed the subjective experiences of the bereaved revealed by domestic documents, which conclude that ‘relations’ is undoubtedly an important issue in this domain. However, the key point –temporality– still needs to be explored. Thus, through the phenomenological psychology approach, this study aims to explore the experiences with regard to ‘bereavement’ and ‘home’, and shed light on ethical relations between the bereaved and the deceased. The researcher adopted qualitative depth interview to collect the data, and a 6-month follow-up. Six cancer bereaved family members were recruited, including a pair of siblings. The results indicate there are four general structures emerge from the analysis of narrative data. Moreover, based on these four general structures, the participants would share some common processes. Throughout the embodied ethical acts and the homeward journey of homelikeness, the memories and narratives of the cancer bereaved family are presented from ‘towards the absence of the past’ to ‘towards present and the other’, and from ‘toward the other’ to ‘toward us (other-self) and self’. These becoming relations is a confluence and iteration process. This study considers the essence of grief to be ‘ontology’. And the continuing ethical relationship between the bereaved and the deceased is an embodiment bond that transcends internalized and externalized continuing bond. Therefore, the bereavement is an endless life-experience. The suggestions and implications were discussed from the results and conclusions.
