| dc.description.abstract | The topic of young adults who have lost their mother is not heavily researched. The aim of this study was to address this gap by investigating the lived experiences of young adults. Qualitative research methods were used, and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was adopted to maintain the integrity of the participants' own voices. To achieve this, purposive sampling was carried out in Lahore and Islamabad and in-depth interviews were conducted with four participants. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the resulting data, which yielded themes such as challenges, emotional support, gifts and belongings, present stage, relationship with relatives, father, and god, as well as triggering events, coping, strength, and responsibilities. All of these themes provide insight into the lived experiences of young adults who have lost their mother. Losing a parent is always challenging, but the bond between a mother and child is especially unique, making it crucial to explore the experiences of these adults. Education can be beneficial in this regard. Further research on the lived experiences of young adults after losing their mother is necessary, as life can never be the same after such a loss. | |
