  • Title: Connecting and disconnecting: bereavement experiences of six mothers whose sons died of AIDS.
    Author: Longman AJ.
    Journal: Health Care Women Int; 1995; 16(1):85-95. PubMed ID: 7706143.
    Abstract:
    The bereavement experiences of 6 mothers whose sons died of AIDS-related complications were identified. Interviews with these women provided data for grounded-theory analysis. Two basic social processes were identified: Connecting and Disconnecting. Connecting included support, rituals, transitions, and gathering mementos, and Disconnecting included accepting the death, performing death-related tasks, and letting go. Special considerations for mothers of sons who have died of AIDS are discussed.
