Abstract

Introduction: Early widowhood causes an increase in stress and health risks in mothers. The objective of this study was to investigate life experiences of these women regarding being the head of the household and its consequences.Method: In this descriptive, exploratory study in-depth interviews were held with 24 widowed parents until achieving data saturation. The data were analyzed using the constant comparative method.Results: The results of data analysis were classified into four main categories: acceptance of the paradoxical identity of a guardian without a guardian, difficulties facing the female head of the household, contexts of difficulties, and female weariness. The subcategories of each category were also determined.Conclusion: The results indicate that lack of attention to widowed female head of the family, who continued to care for their children voluntarily and often in stressful situations, will have negative consequences. Therefore,, beside economical SUPPORT, they also need the comprehensive SUPPORT of their family during the process of ROLE TRANSITION. Moreover, they need the SUPPORT of social welfare and social healthcare delivery systems, especially community health nurses, in order to adapt positively to life after the death of their spouse.
