Abstract

This study aims to: (1) find out how a child responds when facing the death of his parents,

(2) the role of support from surrounding people in helping to get through the grieving period and (3) find out what changes occur in participants after going through the grieving process. This research is a qualitative research. The subjects of this study were Psychology students at Nusa Cendana University with an age range of 18-19 years who had lost one of their parents. Data were obtained through the interview method which was then analyzed using thematic analysis techniques to identify the main themes that emerged in students' experiences in the process of dealing with the loss of parents. The results of the study based on interviews with five participants, found that the five participants experienced a grieving process that included three main stages, namely the Initial Response Stage, Intermediate Stage, and Recovery Stage. The study also showed that the participants' grieving process was multidimensional and that social support was an important aspect in helping them come to terms with the loss.
