Abstract

We are continually assaulted by situations that remove us from the place that until then was considered safe. Living with the loss of someone significant is something that, given the affectivity present there, lasts for a long time. Understanding the unfolding of loss in adolescent existentiality from the perspective of Phenomenological-Existential Psychology is the objective of this study. The type of study is inserted in the qualitative bias and the method used is the phenomenological-psychological one, which undergoes adaptations for the presentation of the adolescents' discourse. Participants were 3 adolescents aged 12, 18 and 19 years old, regularly enrolled in public schools in Manaus, at elementary, middle and high school levels, respectively. The speeches translate the pain and suffering of losses through the death of highly significant figures in the lives of each one of them. It is concluded that the gap left by these losses, the emptiness in the existentiality of the participants, was welcomed, listened to and cared for by the interns in the Psychological Duty.
