Exploring Friendship Loss through Poetry
Furman, Rich
Journal of Loss and Trauma, v9 n2 p181-187 Apr 2004
Losing friendships are significant events for people throughout their life span. In spite of the importance of friendships to psychosocial health, studies of friendships loss are not found in the literature. This article begins to address this gap through a qualitative study utilizing autobiographical poetry as data. This study exemplifies expressive arts research methods which are becoming increasingly influential to qualitative research.
