ABSTRACT
The journey of growth following trauma represents a complex process of finding meaning following loss. Post-intentional phenomenological reflexion on a bereavement experience and collaborative autoethnography provide avenues for continued evolution, multiple meanings, and becoming. This investigation draws from a collaborative autoethnography created during a family bereavement experience. A researcher participant and her family reflect on the loss of a family member one year after his death. This reflection of posttraumatic growth offers themes of healing and continued relationship after a death. Findings include a creative representation of themes in a post-intentional letter.
