Abstract:

Nurses are confronted with the reality of death and dying as part of their profession and, often times, their daily work. The qualitative data in this article were compiled from unsolicited comments provided by respondents to a survey of Registered Nurses. Forty-eight nurses wrote notes to the researcher/author which, after analysis, were organized into two major themes. The first theme encompassed how patient deaths are remembered. The length of time since the death, details provided, and definitions of “good death” were identified as sub-themes. The second theme surrounded the effect that patient death experiences have on nurses. Implications of these data include the need to acknowledge patient death and the immense emotional toll it takes on nurses, as well as understanding that nurses are disenfranchised grievers.

Abstract:

ObjectivesTo explore the barriers and facilitators to patients achieving death at home.MethodsIn-depth, semistructured interviews with end-of-life care experts were conducted to develop an insight into the barriers and facilitators to achieving death at home. Thirty-three interviews were conducted compromising of a mixture of face-to-face and tele interviews. Experts included healthcare professionals working in the community, hospital and policy/academic settings. Thematic analysis was undertaken on interview transcripts.ResultsThree overarching themes, further divided into a total of 12 subthemes were identified. The three themes were ‘managing people’, ‘education' and ‘planning’. The ‘managing people’ theme included subthemes of patient preferences and family influences; the ‘education’ theme encompassed knowledge and training, perceptions of death and communication and the ‘planning’ theme contained seven subthemes including ‘coordination’, ‘resources’ and ‘cost’.ConclusionsMultiple barriers and facilitators to achieving death at home were identified in this study. Of particular significance was the identification of the fear and stigma associated with death among doctors, patients and their families serving as a barrier to home death, not previously identified in the literature. Additionally, the importance of social networks and resource provision were highlighted as key in influencing patient death at home.

Abstract:

Bereavement and spousal loss lead to emotional and practical problems, especially for those in failing health. The aim of this study was to explore the meaning of bereavement in older adults after the death of their spouse. The participants took part in in-depth interviews. The themes and sub-themes were identified using a hermeneutic approach. One overall theme, Struggling to maintain pride and dignity; three themes; and six sub-themes emerged. The first theme, Understanding health decline, included one sub-theme: Difficulty asking for help. The second theme, A lonely painful struggle, had three sub-themes: Striving to avoid feeling sorry for oneself, Searching for meaning when life becomes meaningless, and Sensing that one’s spouse is present. In the third theme, Feeling misunderstood in the dialogue with others, two sub-themes emerged: Longing for support to achieve inclusion and Togetherness is the best medicine. It is vital to prevent older adults from carrying a permanent state of grief with them for the rest of their life.

Abstract:

The perceptual structure of the five themes of Roger Reynolds's The Angel of Death was investigated. We studied how listeners follow the musical progression of each theme and whether or not they perceive the temporal implications. In the first phase, participants performed three tasks on the full themes, one of which consisted of segmenting the musical ideas online. In the second phase, participants were presented with pairs of excerpts from the themes, judged whether both belonged to the same theme, and if they did which one occurred first in the theme. Participants� segmentations corresponded to surface discontinuities in places, but were strongly influenced by the rhetorical structure of the themes in others. Listeners (particularly nonmusicians) encountered difficulties when they were required to perform more abstract tasks out of the musical context such as the belongingness judgment, which depended on surface similarities, and the temporal-order judgment, which depended on previous hearing of the full themes.

Abstract:

Since Petronius and Ovid wrote about the Sybil lamenting the loss of her freedom, which she had traded for eternal life, boredom has not ceased to fascinate and allure. Plato and Aristotle broached the topic philosophically, followed by a whole range of philosophers, writers, painters, and musicians. In this paper, Maria Frendo traces a genealogy of a host of characters in fiction and literary tradition who are afflicted by boredom, from Petronius’ Sybil to Beckett's Vladimir and Estragon, from Shakespeare's Antonio to Tennyson's Lotos-Eaters, from Huysmans’ Count des Esseintes to Eliot's Prufrock, but not forgetting woman: signally, through Flaubert's Emma Bovary. The essay's development and focus bear on two further considerations: firstly, the relation of boredom with death and desire, whereby the longing for relief from the situation in which one is trapped is accompanied by disinclination to resist and an accommodation to paralysis; and, secondly, patterns of duality and doubling across a good number of the predicaments depicted. Halfway through, the paper formally performs a boredom and irritation of its own in the process of highlighting existential angst and postmodernist neurosis in literature and the post-literary, and shifts its focus onto the poetry of Baudelaire and Mallarmé. This apparent randomness is deliberate: hence the subtitle ‘Improvisations on a Theme’, suggestive of thematic and structural characteristics to the paper and its argument.

Abstract:

Abstract. In recent years, a plethora of research studies have attempted to delineate the grief experiences associated with suicide from those of other sudden traumatic deaths. The emerging consensus suggests that bereavement through suicide is more similar than different to other bereavements, but is characterized by the reactions of shame, stigma, and self-blame. The causal nature of these reactions has yet to be fully understood. This study reports on the lived experiences of eight adults bereaved by suicides, which were obtained through in-depth interviews. Data were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Four main themes dominated the relatives' grief experiences. First, the early months were checkered by attempts to “control the impact of the death.” The second theme was the overwhelming need to “make sense of the death” and this was coupled with a third theme, a marked “social uneasiness.” Finally, participants had an eventual realization of a sense of “purposefulness” in their lives following the suicide death. Overall, the findings suggest that suicide bereavement is molded and shaped by the bereaved individual's life experiences with the deceased and their perceptions following social interactions after the event. The findings from this study suggest that “meaning making” may be an important variable in furthering our understanding of the nuances in suicide bereavement.

Abstract:

The stories “The Fall of the House of Usher” and “A Rose for Emily” have made an important contribution to literature. “The Fall of the House of Usher” presents a story of a family consisting of two siblings who lived together in an isolated house. Similarly, “A Rose for Emily” presents the story of a woman, Emily who lived a mysterious life. There are various themes that can be drawn from the stories. The aim of this paper is to explore the universal theme of the abyss of the unknown in the two stories. Thus, the paper critically delves into the elements of the stories that support the theme. Some of the supporting themes in “The Fall of the House of Usher” include the house, terror, illness and madness, the description of the family, and death. In “A Rose for Emily”, the presented themes are resistance to change, family, death, and alienation. The paper also analyzes the similarities and dissimilarities as presented in the stories with regard to the universal theme. The similarities include families and residences, incest, house, isolation, and the deaths of the characters. The dissimilarities in the stories were in the setting of the stories and suspense.

Abstract:

The theme of death or mortality has been a recurrent theme in the works of many writers in literature. From time to time, various authors have discussed death in their works in different ways presenting it from different perspectives. It is a universal theme not confined to any specific group of people, country, or religion. This study focuses on the presentation of death in the poems of two female American poets Emily Dickinson (1830–1886) and Louise Gluck (1943 till today). Though both these female poets belong to two different centuries, the presentation of death in their works plays a dominant role. The presentation of death in the poems of Emily Dickinson makes the readers ponder over the concept of death from various angles. Similarly, the end of human life is one of the central themes of the poems of Louise Gluck. The discussion of death takes different shapes in the poetry of Louise Gluck. For this study, two pieces have been selected from the collection of Emily Dickinson and two pieces have been chosen from the collection of Louise Gluck. Hence, this present study aims to show the similarities and the differences between the concept and presentation of death in the works of these two leading female poets in the selected pieces.

Abstract:

This article is an attempt to focus on Interior by Maeterlinck in the light of Absurd tradition. Maeterlinck employed symbols to illuminate nature, spirituality, existence, and the innumerable and invisible forces that shape our existence. Maeterlinck uses symbolism to explore the theme of death that is omnipotent in everyday life. The Interior 's central theme is death. Maeterlinck generates suspense by juxtaposing the characters' uneasiness in the garden with the family's peace and ignorance within the house. In order to reach this aim, the researchers decide to explain the theatre of the Absurd and its elements. Maeterlinck distrust of language is shown in his distrust of words, using repetitions, silences, pauses and some other tactics. The existential theme and contents used in selected play are discussed. Themes such as: death, lack of individuality and lack of communication in mentioned play is discussed. Moreover, this article also contains a comparative study of the structure of the two.

Abstract:

Last statements have been a common practice as part of capital punishment as far back as the 1300s in Europe. In the United States, the first execution occurred in 1608, and currently, 32 states have the death penalty. In 1991, Missouri integrated death row inmates into the general prison population, which makes this population unique compared with other death row populations across the United States. This article is a qualitative study on the themes found in the last statements of 46 capitally punished inmates in Missouri from 1995 to 2011. The purpose of this study was to determine if capital punishment inmates being housed in the general population had an impact on an inmate’s last statement prior to execution. Three domains emerged from these last statements: life, death, and execution. The most common theme identified was love while the least common theme was acceptance. The themes found in this research were consistent with previous studies which looked at inmates executed in Texas where inmates sentenced to capital punishment are separated from the general prison population. Implications, limitations, and future research areas are discussed.

Abstract:

Several novels have been published recently, both in English and French, dealing with the AIDS epidemic. Their perspectives on death can be extracted through content analysis. Overall, these novels present a weak symbolization about death with rituals that are not highly elaborated. Complex images of the afterlife are not offered. By contrast, there is a strong theme expressing the impact of this epidemic on personal networks as well as the effect of repeated losses on the survivors. The desperate feeling that the entire homosexual community is on the verge of extinction is among the specific themes that are expressed.

Katherine Anne Porter contributed memorable stories to American literature for over half a century. A Southerner and a contemporary of Fitzgerald and Hemingway the amount of her published writings are very small though her reputation is considerable. The Saturday Review has positioned her in the legacy of Hawthorne, Flaubert, and James as an artist and story-teller. Her fiction has been marked for its elegance, beauty, brilliance and accuracy. Most of the critics acknowledge about the supremacy of Porter’s literary style. They adore the effectiveness of her sarcasm, the precision of her language, and the economy of her structure.

The poetry of the world-renowned poetess Emily Dickenson received general acclaim in the fifties of the previous century, 70 years after her death. This country-dwelling lady who had locked herself from the surrounding world, created one of the most precious examples of the 19th century American poetry and became one of the most celebrated poets of all time without leaving her own garden.Her soul was her universe and the mission of Dickenson’s sole was to open the universe to let the people see it. Interestingly, most of her poems lack a title, are short and symbolic. The poetess managed to disclose the dark side of the human brain which symbolizes death and eternity.

Abstract Various Talmudic aggadot portray death as the conclusion of tikkun hanefesh. Yet several aggadot, the deaths of R. Yehoshua b. Levi and R. Hanina b. Papa (b. Ketub. 77b) and the Heavenly Tribunal questions of Rava (b. Šabb. 31a), portray post-death tests. These Talmudic “philosophy of death” passages—as well as the Angel of Death narratives at the end of tractate b. Moʿed Qaṭan—complement each other and complete a single theme. Together they convey the lesson that, while tikkun hanefesh is most relevant during life, there is an ultimate tikkun opportunity after death, which is chiefly a test of humility.

Abstract:

This article examines the features of how the system of semantic oppositions of landscape images is objectified in the stories about childhood by the writer of the Russian expatriate community Ivan Sergeevich Shmelev, created in 1906-1912. The research material constitutes the works The Sergeant, On Urgent Business, One Night, Gingerbread (the Doctor’s Story), Festive Heroes, Stars, Timid Silence, related to the pre-emigration period of the author’s ouevre. The aim of the work is to consider the artistic principle of antinomy, actualizing a wide range of images, including images of ‘happy childhood’, mellow autumn, night landscape, idyllic summer panoramic landscape, autumn melancholy landscape, ‘sacred’ landscape, spilt innocent blood. All together, they recreate a rich motivic spectrum containing motifs of abundance, spaciousness, peace, blissful silence, contrasted with a dead, graceless silence. The theme of the rebellious revolutionary city in the stories is interspersed with the theme of harmonious unity, opposing the discordant life of man and nature, as well as the themes of death, unjust murder and human cruelty. In the works of I. S. Shmelev, the theme of the unity of children and nature is closely connected with the poetization of the Russian landscape, paintings-images of a rapid children’s run, combined with aerial imagery and the theme of human talent, bestowed by God. In the structure of the artistic space of the stories, a contrasting idea of the ‘inner’ fertile home space filled with children’s light, warmth, love, and the ‘outer’ cold, dark space bearing torment and death is realized. Biblical allusions, closely related to the images of stars, among which the image of the Christmas Star stands out, and the Christmas chronotope, are associated with the meaning of the higher, spiritual sphere and the theme of death.

Abstract:

The research questions was: 'How do psychiatrists describe their responses to patients' suicidal deaths in the light of a published model of consolation?' The textual data (n = 5) was a subset of a larger (n = 19) study. Thematic analysis showed a main theme, 'unburdening grief', and six themes. Embedded in the results is a story about suffering that reveals that, through ethical reflectiveness, a meaning of suffering can be recreated that unburdens grief and opens up new understandings with and among disciplines. This can help to prepare health professionals to respond to people who suffer because of suicidal death.

Abstract:

The topic of death is an important theme in the work of Emily Dickinson, one of America's greatest poets. Dickinson scholars debate whether her focus on death (one quarter of all her poems) is an unhealthy and morbid obsession, or, rather, a courageous recognition that life itself cannot be understood fully except from the vantage point of the grave (just as light cannot be fully appreciated without the recognition of its opposite, i.e., darkness). Following the latter view, Dickinson's penetrating insights into death are examined. Some of her best known death poems are presented and briefly discussed (reference is also made to many other Dickinson poems, and insights are also drawn from her many letters). Brief comparisons of Dickinson's views to certain philosophers (for example, Nietzsche) are made, in order to provide a wider context of exploration into these important themes. In the end, Dickinson contends that affirmation of life is impossible without an examination of death—the article therefore ends with her famous poem about that affirmation.

Abstract:

The paper concentrates on a comparative interpretation of two films which are classified by their authors as melodramas. The first one is Michael Haneke’s Love and the second one is The Notebook by Nick Cassavetes. The films selected for this analysis represent two different attitudes to disease. Haneke creates a moving image of dying, which is associated not only with physical death, but also the death of human dignity. Cassavetes focuses on a story before the disease of the main heroine, while her affliction is treated as a complement to the happy life, rather than a leading motif. The purpose of the paper is to compare the films from different perspectives: media and genological, as well as to answer the question why directors from various cultures perceive the topic of disease as a film theme in such distinct ways.

Abstract:

Bunin’s novel “The Life of Arsenyev” is a completely new model, different from the classics of the 19 th century. In the novel “The life of Arsenyev” several themes are developed in a new way, in particular, the theme of aristocratic genealogy, it is deliberately deployed in all the richness of its cultural and historical semantics. The compositional rhythm of Bunin’s novel is subject, as often in the stories of this author, to elegiac laws with alternating and contrasting semantics of death, breakage, failure and rebirth, connection, love, life and creativity. Nabokov reproduces in the novel “The gift” many features of the model developed by Bunin: poetic name and literary genealogy of the character. Expansion of literary and cultural subtexts through the development of genealogical and travel motifs; the elegiac alternation of the theme of death, rebirth and its connection with the eventual Nabokov plot.

Abstract:

Abstract Among the scrolls in the Megilloth, the book of Ecclesiastes seems out of place in terms of its motifs, themes, and literary features. Unlike the rest of the Megilloth, where good people receive happy endings and bad people deserve bad endings, death in Ecclesiastes renders everyone equal. Unlike the rest of the Megilloth where there is a sense of hope in the midst of death and even afterwards, death in Ecclesiastes is gloomy and hopeless. Unlike the rest of the Megilloth where memories are preserved through the survival of the community, Ecclesiastes asserts that death erases memory. Unlike the rest of the Megilloth, which comprises two historical narratives and two songs, Ecclesiastes belongs to the wisdom genre. This article argues that it is precisely this wisdom genre of the book of Ecclesiastes that forms an interthematic link with the larger Megilloth. One of the main themes in Ecclesiastes is death. This theme situates Ecclesiastes among the Megilloth and offers a counterperspective to the other scrolls contained within.

Abstract:

Two studies examined African Americans essays on coping with violent and nonviolent death and fading affect bias. Essays from 101 African Americans were coded for psychological resolution (resolved or unresolved) and for type of death (violent or nonviolent). Linguistic analyses were used to examine the experience of loss and coping methods. Religious coping was important for nonviolent death events while social support and emotion (e.g., crying) were themes that emerged for violent death events. For unresolved violent death events, dissociation was a common theme. The perceived change in the emotional intensity of the events was examined and revealed that the negative emotion showed evidence of substantial fading. Overall, these results suggest religious coping, social support and sharing enhance coping among African American participants. These processes can help negative affect associated with death events fade, allowing for psychological resolution, healing, and resilience.

Abstract:

The purpose of this qualitative study was to further examine the lived experiences of families that faced the sudden loss of a child. Six mothers that had previously participated approximately 9 years ago in the study entitled “The Lived Experience of the Unexpected Death of a Child” were interviewed. All of the mothers were Caucasian and had achieved a high school or greater level of education. Taped interviews and field notes were transcribed for data display. Together, two raters completed data reduction and coding for theme identification and categorization. Six themes were revealed that described helpful coping behaviors used by the mothers: positive beliefs, faith beliefs, everlasting love, pleasant remembrances, social engagement, and staying connected. Two themes, avoidance and rumination, described the behaviors that did not help the mothers cope with their loss. Finally, answers to the questions regarding acceptance and healing time were also revealed.

Abstract:

We consider the history of Russian refugees who found themselves on the territory of Turkey. They were placed in the Naked Field. Despite the conditions that are difficult to compatible with life, they maintained discipline and led an active social life within the settlement, however, the profits and achievements of this activity went far beyond these limits and, thanks to the works of I.S. Lukash and G.I. Gazdanov, became the property of Russian classical literature. The fate of these two pen masters is sometimes literally parallel, sometimes exactly the opposite. Not all the writers of the Naked Field had such a lucky literary star as they had: the young poet junker V. Rutkovsky died of wounds in the “Valley of Roses and Death”. I.S. Lukash and G.I. Gazdanov never write about each other, but the analogies in their prose coincide, sometimes word for word. We carry out an indicative analysis of several pages. They write about the same events that be-came part of their personal and collective experience. We analyze the book “Gazdanov” by O.M. Orlova from the “Life of Wonderful People” series. The work contains evidence of the Gal-lipoli standing of Russian refugees practically from first hand, provides information about the chronicle of their everyday life.

ContextEducational training programs both impart knowledge and allow students to practice skills to gain clinical competence.ObjectiveUnderstand the educational training provided to athletic training students regarding sudden death in sport beyond exertional heat stroke.DesignAn exploratory, qualitative study using telephone interviews and a quantitative survey instrument.SettingAthletic training programs (ATPs) accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education.Patients or Other ParticipantsTwelve ATP faculty members (7 men, 5 women) currently teaching content related to sudden death in sport participated.Data Collection and AnalysisOne-on-one semistructured telephone interviews were analyzed inductively using a grounded theory approach and open coding. Multiple analyst triangulation and peer review established data credibility.ResultsFour major themes emerged from the data to describe the educational experiences provided to athletic training students regarding sudden death: (1) current trends, (2) regional bias, (3) clinician experience, and (4) instructional methods. The first 3 themes were an illustration of which sudden death conditions were covered in the curriculum, as well as the depth to which each of the concepts was covered. The final theme was a reflection of methods used to deliver the information determined by the first 3 themes.ConclusionsSimilar to previous literature, our participants were guided by the NATA position statements to deliver educational material, used time spent in clinical education to gain hands-on learning, and discourse to facilitate preparedness.

Abstract:

This study explores women’s experiences of breast cancer in the occupied Palestinian territory. We use an inductive qualitative design with a thematic analytical approach for conducting and analyzing 35 semi-structured interviews with breast cancer patients. The interviews focused on diagnosis, experiences and coping with breast cancer, social support and care needs, and the impact of illness on their families and social relationships. Three themes emerged: (a) the transition from initial shock to the daily struggles with disruptions caused by illness, (b) the role of social support in helping women cope with the burden of disease, and the importance of (c) faith and reliance on God (tawakkul). In the Palestinian context, women’s narratives highlighted the disruptive nature of breast cancer. Our findings underline the importance of social support provided by extended family members. Finally, faith is an important overarching theme that influences how women make sense of and cope with breast cancer.

Abstract:

AbstractObjective:Our aim was to explore bereaved siblings' positive and negative memories and experiences of their brother's or sister's illness and death.Method:In our nationwide Swedish study, 174 of 240 (73%) bereaved siblings participated, and 70% responded to two open-ended statements, which focused on siblings' positive and negative memories and experiences of illness and death. The data were analyzed using systematic text condensation.Results:The bereaved siblings' responses were categorized into four different themes: (1) endurance versus vulnerability, (2) family cohesion versus family conflicts, (3) growth versus stagnation, and (4) professional support versus lack of professional support. The first theme expressed endurance as the influence that the ill siblings' strong willpower, good mood, and stamina in their difficult situation had on healthy siblings, whereas vulnerability was expressed as the feeling of emptiness and loneliness involved with having an ill and dying sibling. In the second theme, family cohesion was expressed as the bonds being strengthened between family members, whereas family conflicts often led siblings to feel invisible and unacknowledged. In the third theme, most siblings expressed the feeling that they grew as individuals in the process of their brother's or sister's illness and death, whereas others experienced stagnation because of the physical and mental distress they bore throughout this time, often feeling forgotten. In the last theme—professional support—most siblings perceived physicians and staff at the hospital as being warm, kind, and honest, while some siblings had negative experiences.Significance of results:The study shows that bereaved siblings can have positive memories and experiences. The significance of the positive buffering effect on bereaved siblings' own endurance, personal growth, family cohesion, and social support should be noted. This knowledge can be valuable in showing healthcare professionals the importance of supporting the siblings of children with cancer throughout the cancer trajectory and afterwards into bereavement.

Abstract:

In August 2015, three pottery vessels were discovered in the River Colne in Colchester’s Castle Park. After discussion with the local Hindu temple, these objects were identified as Hindu vessels used during death rites, and subsequently they were entered into the collection of Colchester + Ipswich Museums. These finds acted as a catalyst for an exhibition called After Life, which deployed the wider museum collections, including its archaeological artefacts, to explore through the themes of Body, Soul and Mourning, how people engaged with death in the past and how they continue to do so. This article outlines the public engagement activities conducted during the development of the exhibition, an overview of the exhibition itself, and a discussion of the ‘Death Café’ public event, which took place in the museum during the run of the show. As such, the article offers a case study in public mortuary archaeology in the museum environment.
