Magistrsko delo je sestavljeno iz teoretičnega in raziskovalnega dela. V teoretičnem delu sem na podlagi različne literature opisala sprejemanje smrti, faze žalovanje, kakšno podporo lahko vdovci dobijo po smrti partnerke. Izvedla sem kvalitativno raziskavo na podlagi 10 intervjujev s priložnostnim vzorcem v institucionalni oskrbi in domačem okolju. Populacijo sestavljajo moški, ki so stari več kot 65 let in so v starosti izgubili partnerko. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, kako so se spoprijeli s smrtjo in z žalovanjem, kakšno oporo so dobili s strani družine in prijateljev in kako se življenje po smrti partnerke v starosti spremeni. Zanimalo me je, kako se je spremenil njihov vsakdan, kako so se spoprijeli s samoto in z gospodinjstvom, spraševala sem tudi, če so se spremenili odnosi v družini, kakšne strokovne podpore so bili deležni in kakšno podporo bi si še želeli. Rezultati so pokazali, da strokovne podpore ne izkoristijo, niti jim ni ponujena. Morda bi se kdo odločil zanjo, če bi jim bila predstavljena. Kar sprva občutijo, je šok in žalost, partnerko pogrešajo. Nekaterim pomagata družba in pogovor, a so hkrati radi tudi sami in v tišini premišljujejo. Žalujočim bi bilo treba ponuditi strokovno podporo. The master's thesis consists of theoretical and research part. In the theoretical part I found definitions based on different literature of the acceptance of death, the stages of mourning, what kind of support they can receive at the death of a partner. I have done qualitative research based on ten interviews with casual sample in institutional care and home settings. The population is comprised of men who are more than 65 years old and have lost a partner in old age. The purpose of the research was to find out how they coped with death and mourning, what support they received from family and friends and how life after a partner's death changes over the years. I was wondering how their daily life had changed, how they had dealt with solitude and with their household, and I also asked if their family relationships changed, what professional help they received and what support they would like. The results show that they are not utilized or even misused, by professional assistance. Maybe someone would choose her if it were introduced to them. What they initially feel is shock and sadness, they miss their partner. Some are helped by company and conversation, but at the same time they love to be alone and to think in silence. Professional help should be brought closer to the grieving people.
