Abstract

The adolescent experience of death of a family member can lead to depression and suicidal tendencies. The article explores this experience of the researcher as a teenager. In the qualitative research framework, the autobiographical poems are used as data. The artistic ways of processing the lived experiences and the subsequent emotions have become a vital part of qualitative research. © 2018, © 2018 National Association for Poetry Therapy.
