Health Stories of Hiroshima and Pearl Harbor Survivors
This study examines stories of health for five Hiroshima and five Pearl Harbor survivors. The analysis identified story turning points and associated descriptive themes. Turning points for the Hiroshima survivors included: facing disorienting aftermath; becoming Hibakusha (A-bomb sufferers); and, reaching out to create meaning/purpose. For the Pearl Harbor survivors, coming to grips with the reality of a Japanese attack; honoring the memory of their war experiences and trying to set it aside; and, embracing connection. The participants from Japan and the United States had unique context-related experiences of living through the bombings; they also shared common human experiences within and across cultures.
