Summary / Abstract:
LTReikšminiai žodžiai: Loneliness; Ttransnational families.
ENThis chapter aims to reveal the role of emotions and to disclose the narratives of loneliness from the perspective of elderly parents who stay behind in Lithuania. The study is based on 20 interviews with elderly parents who have at least one migrant child and live at elderly care institutions. Using data from the interviews, we conclude that narratives of loneliness are constructed in two ways. In some cases, the direct or latent interlinks between loneliness and being a member of a transnational family are drawn. In other cases, loneliness is linked with other events of the life course: loss of home and restricted social networks. [taylorfrancis.com]
