“…The essential message is that a positive outlook cannot be imposed, but requires a nurturing orientation that allows the expression of a full range of feelings in a supportive environment. For, as Harvey et al [12] sum up: "Although it is true that fear and despair can overwhelm us, hope cannot be purchased with the refusal to feel".…”

“…A positive orientation is understood as but one dimension of the complex hope taxonomy. Hope also includes ideas of inner motivation, a sense of inner peace, an affirmation of self-worth, connectedness, acceptance, an inner power, expectations, illusions, virtues, emotions and goals, which are described as both a curse and a blessing [4,9,12,13,23,29,32].…”

“…The range of experiences, emotions, and responses this loss brings about in an individual are diverse and highly individualised. However, one theme repeated in the literature is the loss of hope (see for example, Harvey, Orbuch, Weber, & Merbach, 1992). Many authors describe grieving as a process (for example, Kubler-Ross, 1970;Raphael, 1983) with the eventual outcome of this process being a sense of acceptance.…”

The Inspiration of Hope in Bereavement Counseling

While most healthcare workers would agree that hope is necessary for healthy living, the current understanding of hope and hoping is incomplete. This article reports on a study that attempted to answer the question: Do bereavement counselors inspire hope in their clients, and if so, how? The study used a modified grounded theory method and collected data, by means of interviews, from a total sample of 12 participants, comprising bereavement counselors and ex-clients who had received bereavement counseling. The data were coded and analysed using the constant comparative method, which produced an emerging, integrated, substantive grounded theory of hope inspiration for this client group. This theory includes a core variable: the implicit projection of hope and hopefulness; and three subcore variables: forging the connection and the relationship; facilitating a cathartic release; and experiencing a good (healthy) ending. The theory indicates that this hope inspiration appears to be a subtle, unobtrusive process that was bound up with the necessary and sufficient human qualities in the counselor and the projection of these into the environment (and client).

“…Research on this topic, which has been conducted in a wide variety of academic disciplines, has focused primarily on how individuals adapt to extreme sources of distress. Harvey and colleagues have outlined the specific characteristics of different types of major losses that people have experienced, including losses resulting from war and violence, the loss of psychological health, and the loss of employment (Harvey, 1996;Harvey, Orbuch, & Fink, 1990;Harvey, Orbuch, Weber, Merbach, & Alt, 1992;. Several other researchers have also studied the losses associated with bereavement, dying, and death (e.g., McCrae & Costa, 1988;Staudacher, 1987;Stroebe, Gergen, Gergen, & Stroebe, 1992).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine how a sample of elite athletes coped with distressful reactions to retirement from sport. As part of a larger research project, 15 former elite athletes were identified as having experienced severe emotional difficulties upon athletic career termination. Employing a micronarrative methodology, it was determined that account-making can be a significant moderator of distress during the career transition process. In addition, the quality of the account-making was found to be related to present affect and overall success in coping with athletic retirement. Finally, changes in athletic identity were found to be significant determinants of adjustment for athletes upon career termination. Suggestions are presented for future research on treatment strategies for distressful reactions to retirement from sport.
