Resumo:
This research aimed to investigate the experience of parents bereaved by suicide. Therefore, semi-structured interviews were carried out with 3 fathers and 4 mothers who lost an adult son or daugther through suicide. We seached to investigate the specific characteristics of the process of parental mourning for suicide; understand how parents experience the rituals in the process of mourning their child s suicide; and understand the perception of parents about the support received after the child s death. The collected data was analyzed thur content analysis and five categories emerged: (1) Answers to suicide; (2) My child beyond the suicide; (3) Coping resources in the grieving process; (4) Displacement of parental care and (5) Search for meaning and perceptions about the changes after the child s death. It was found that this loss is accompanied not only by the stigma of the death of a child, but also by the suicidal act. Therefore, the search for answers, feelings of guilt, desire for safe spaces to talk freely about their child, development of support resources, and transformations and the search for meaning are penetrated by these characteristics. It is concluded that facilitating access to information about suicide and about grief, as well as providing safe and caring spaces for these bereaved are important aspects in the grieving process of survivors.
