Özet:

This thesis aims to gain an in-depth understanding on how young adults experience paternal bereavement. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis is used in order to find superordinate themes that are shared among seven young adults, aging 20-35, who have lost their fathers in the past 10 months to 65 months. The emerged themes are discussed in terms of the related literature on bereavement.
