Abstract
Kematian ibu merupakan salah satu kehilangan yang paling mendalam yang dialami oleh perempuan dewasa muda, mengingat ibu sering kali berperan sebagai figur kelekatan utama, sumber dukungan emosional dan teladan dalam proses perkembangan individu. Kehilangan tersebut dapat memengaruhi kesejahteraan emosional, pembentukan identitas, hubungan interpersonal, serta proses transisi menuju kedewasaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi dinamika kedukaan pada perempuan dewasa muda setelah kematian ibu tercinta. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) untuk memahami pengalaman hidup partisipan serta makna yang mereka berikan terhadap kehilangan yang dialami. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini terdiri atas tiga perempuan dewasa muda berusia 18–30 tahun yang telah kehilangan ibu selama lebih dari satu tahun. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam semi-terstruktur dan dianalisis menggunakan tahapan analisis IPA.References
