Qualitative Analysis of Relationship between Post Traumatic Growth, Spirituality and Psychological Wellbeing Towards Grief

Objective: The major objective of this study is to explore the concept of Grief on Post Traumatic Growth and its relationship with spirituality and psychological well-being that helps an individual to come out of grief. Methods: An open unstructured interview guideline was established keeping in view the literature and social norms. Interviews were conducted with 29 widows through random purposive sampling whose husband died due to national cause and more than two years have been passed, having no physical or psychological illness. The problems and issues during their grief phase were explored and the elements that helped them to move back towards normal life were explored. Results: Results revealed that loss of a partner leads to emotional difficulties that involve torment and turmoil, which further add up to crying and stress as well as financial issues, as one has to look after household and children’s expenditure related to education, medical and daily routine requirements. Conclusion: Martyrdom is the Sacrifice of Life in the service of Allah. From the very beginning it is explained that religiosity or spiritual healing is not linked with a particular religion. Islamic belief and its practices fill Muslims with security and peace as well as with optimistic regard for life with looking into full human reality. Spirituality and psychological well-being, along with growth factors, are some positive learning aspects that come as a result of grief. Further research can be done to explore other positive factors that are experienced as a result of grief.
