Abstract

This paper presents a case study from a larger research project on the experience of bereavement in Syrian refugees in the UK. In the larger study, five participants were interviewed for their individual bereavement narratives. The qualitative methodology employed was Langdridge’s Critical Narrative Analysis, which follows six distinct iterative stages. This paper describes the individual narrative of one of the five participants in the study and follows it through these stages. This includes contextualising the narrative within the broader overall themes from the research, and looking at the narrative through a postcolonial lens. The aim is to provide a rich sense of the participant's experience as described through his voice, as well as offering an alternative perspective developed using critical theory. It is hoped this research might contribute to mental and social care provision in the UK, especially bereavement services and organisations, for this population.
