The aim of this paper is to analyze from the perspective of “self-narrative” theory how bereaved people reconstruct their “self-narrative” when it is disrupted as a result of bereavement. A loss of a loved one makes it difficult for people to continue to relate their self-narrative. Therefore, they need to reconstruct their self-narrative so that they can give meaning to the bereavement and can find direction for the future. This paper tries to clarify a part of this work of reconstruction through examining a narrative of the bereaved.
