Dinamika Islamic Wellness dan Resiliensi: Studi Fenomenologi pada Wanita yang Kehilangan Suami Akibat Kematian

Abstract

This study aims to gain an in-depth understanding of the dynamics of Islamic wellness and resilience among women who have lost their husbands due to death, as well as to examine the role of the tazkiyatun nafs process in coping with the experience of grief. The study employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design to explore the meaning of participants’ subjective experiences. The participants consisted of three Muslim women aged 25–60 years who have children and had experienced the loss of their husbands for at least two years, selected purposively based on the research criteria. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews and subsequently analyzed using phenomenological thematic analysis. The findings indicate that the experience of loss gives rise to complex and non-linear grieving dynamics. Within this process, the strengthening of Islamic wellness dimensions plays a crucial role in helping participants regulate emotions, reconstruct meaning in life, and reinforce social relationships grounded in Islamic values. This study further emphasizes that the integration of Islamic values, Islamic wellness, and tazkiyatun nafs constitutes an essential foundation for strengthening resilience among women who experience spousal loss due to death.
