The ambiguous phenomenology of grief  \nThomas Fuchs 1   \nPublished online: 11 April 2017  \n\\# Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2017  \nAbstract Despite its complex experiential structure, the phenomenon of grief following bereavement has not been a major topic of phenomenological research. The paper investigates its basic structures, elaborating as its core characteristic a conflict between a presentifying and a ‘de-presentifying ’ intention: In grief, the subject experiences a fundamental ambiguity between presence and absence of the deceased, between the present and the past, indeed between two worlds he lives in. This phenomenological structure will be analyzed under several aspects: (1) regarding bodily experience, as disruption of a shared intercorporeality; (2) as a loss of the shared world and shared habitualities, leaving the bereaved person with ubiquitous indications of absence and with a contraction of their own self; (3) regarding temporality, as a separation of two strands of time, namely a still ongoing past and an alienated present which become more and more desynchronized; (4) finally, as an Bas-if presence ^ of the deceased which the bereaved continue to feel and sometimes to perceive, leading to a cognitive-affective conflict between two experienced realities. The transforming process of grief is then analyzed as a gradual adjustment to the loss, finally enabling a re-integration of the conflicting realities. This is achieved through an incorporation and identification with the deceased on the one hand, and through various forms of representation on the other hand, in particular by recollection and symbolization.  \nKeywords Grief.

My native place was a torture room to me and my father’s house a strange unhappiness. And all the things I had done with him – now that he was gone – became a frightful torment. My eyes sought him everywhere, but they did not see him; and I hated all places because he was not in them, because they could not say to me, ‘Look, he is coming,’ as they did when he was alive and absent. I became a hard riddle to myself, and I asked my soul why she was so downcast and why this disquieted me so sorely. But she did not know how to answer me (Augustine [1955], Confessions, IV, 4) .  \nHere we find major components of grief described in a poignant way. The world of the bereaved person has changed profoundly: It appears darkened, homeless, alienated, even permeated by death. All that was connected with the loved one now evokes a tormenting pain. All that formerly indicated the reunion with the friend when he was absent, announcing him, as it were, now points to his irretrievable loss. The transformation of the world is accompanied by an alteration of the subject, who becomes a riddle to himself and, in a sense, does not recognize himself any more. Bereavement and grief thus create a Brift in being ^ and overthrow the hitherto familiar order of existence.  \nIn view of the profound alterations that the subject undergoes in these processes, it seems striking that apart from some exceptions (Dubose 1997, Schmitz 2005, 122 ff., Klugman 2007, Ratcliffe 2015), grief has hardly been a topic of phenomenological research. In what follows, I will investigate the complex phenomenology of grief and its major components, drawing on self-reports, descriptions in the psychological ","cbCaihX9jFMtcndQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihX9jFMtcndQ","pdf",436254,21,"English","# Abstract\n# Keywords\n# Introduction\n## Grief as presence in absence\n## Methodological caveat and scope","[{\"question\":\"What is the core phenomenological characteristic of grief in this paper?\",\"answer\":\"Grief is characterized by a conflict between a presentifying and a de-presentifying intention, generating fundamental ambiguity between presence and absence of the deceased.\"},{\"question\":\"How does bodily experience figure in the analysis of grief?\",\"answer\":\"Bodily experience is treated as a primary locus where loss and suffering manifest, involving disruption of a shared intercorporeality.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper explain the transformation and eventual resolution of grief?\",\"answer\":\"The transformation is described as a gradual adjustment that reintegrates conflicting realities, achieved through incorporation and identification with the deceased and through representation such as recollection and symbolization.\"}]","Presence in absence - The ambiguous phenomenology of grief - Abstract | PDF",53]
