Abstract		Abstract: The subject of this paper is the attachment in a relationship being one of the factors which coform the grieving process after conjugal loss. In this integrative study about the grieving process after the loss of a partner due to sudden or expected death one or two years after the loss, the author determined that the relationship between partners represents an important indicator of the grieving process. Due to the sensitive nature of the process, the method used was a case study (seven participants were interviewed) and a circular research process. The functioning of grieving persons in different areas of life was assessed with a semi-structured interview, specifically designed for this research, and with an adapted version of the Attachment Test, a part of Picture Test of Separation and Individuation (Žvelc and Žvelc 2000). It was ascertained contens in the grieving are specifically conected with the type of relationship prior to death (ambivalent and closely connected/dependent relationship) and the experiencing of the present position in relation to the deceased partner. Due to the fact that knowledge about possible maintenance/continuance of the bond between the partners has only recently become the locus of empirical research, the present study could not yet fully evaluate what kind of experience of current relationship position towards the partner contributes to healthy separation and individuation processes, i.e. grieving. Although the findings are limited to the specific context of cach individual participant, the case study ascertained certain patterns in the relation between the grieving process and the attachment between partners, which indicates that there is a possibility of these in the wider population.
Summary		Povzetek: Predmet pričujočega prispevka je odnos navezanosti kot eden izmed dejavnikov, ki sooblikujejo proces žalovanja po izgubi partnerja. V izvedeni, integrativno naravnani študiji o procesu žalovanja po izgubi partnerja zaradi nenadne ali pričakovane smrti v času enega do dveh let po izgubi se je odnos med partnerjema izkazal kot pomemben pokazatelj procesa žalovanja. V skladu z občutljivo naravo procesa žalovanja za raziskovanje se je avtorica odločila za študijo primera kot metodo dela (sodelovalo je sedem udeležencev) in krožno oblikovan raziskovalni proces. Funkcioniranje žalujočih na različnih področjih življenja je ocenjevala s polstrukturiranim intervjujem, posebej oblikovanim za namen raziskave, ter s prirejeno verzijo podtesta Navezanost v okviru Slikovnega testa separacije in individualizacije (Žvelc in Žvelc, 2000). Ugotovila je, da se določene vsebine v procesu žalovanja specifično vežejo na vrsto odnosa s partnerjem pred izgubo (ambivalenten in tesno povezan, odvisen odnos) ter doživljanje sedanje pozicije v odnosu do umrlega partnerja. Avtorica je zaključila, da je brez nadaljnjega raziskovanja težko ocenjevati, kakšno doživljanje sedanje pozicije v odnosu do partnerja prispeva k zdravi izpeljanosti separacije in individualizacije oziroma procesa žalovanja. Dobljena spoznanja so omejena na specifični kontekst posameznega udeleženca. Dejstvo, da je avtorica ob študiji primera kot metodi dela odkrila v procesu žalovanja in odnosu navezanosti med partnerjema določene vzorce, pa kaže na možnost le-teh tudi v širši populaciji.
