Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the essentials of the life of Vietnamese marriage immigrant women who have experienced bereavement and to understand the meaning of the experience in an internal perspective. The analysis and interpretation of data were performed by selecting the Giorgi equation analysis method according to the phenomenological method. In consequence, the final 92 Meaning units, 30 sub - components, and 9 components were derived. The results of the study are summarized as follows. First, the components of the experience of living alone in a Vietnamese married immigrant woman who has experienced bereavement are 'Leave with hope, 'Living with a new family in Korea', 'Bereavement with husband', 'To make matters worse', 'Face tough realities', 'Foreign mother's endurance', 'Stranger Becomes Korean', 'A support base for life', 'Leap for the future'. Second, Vietnamese Immigrant women showed changes in 'tranquility', 'confusion', 'Abysm', 'overcoming' and 'leap' according to the temporal flow and experience of Self-reliance after bereavement. As a result, the Vietnamese married immigrant women who experienced bereavement identified the essence of the experience of Self-reliance after the Bereavement as 'To grow up with children facing the world as a proud mother in the lonely and fearful reality of strangers.' The meaningful experience gained from this process gave the active and educational meaning to return one's strength to others. Therefore, this study is meaningful in that it presents a new alternative direction to multicultural bereaved families through qualitative research on the self-reliance of Vietnamese marriage immigrant women who have experienced bereavement.
