Abstract

To carry out local studies on motherhood, this research, analyzing the lives of martyrs' wives in the process of taking on the role of motherhood, This research wants to give a view of their social life in the face of challenges. In the absence of data, fourteen published narratives of martyrs' children have been qualitatively analyzed as documents.
The emerging social issues can be analyzed in the three stages. The first stage is based on the joint life of the couple and includes accepting the spirit of self-sacrifice of the husband and experiencing the apprehensions of possible fatal dangers. The second stage is marked by the martyrdom event and its characteristic is the shock and emotional trauma of facing the reality of martyrdom, mourning, accepting the loss and reaching the meaning of being the single head of the family. The essence of the third stage, which has a wider scope compared to the previous two stages, is adaptation to the conditions. The result is the burden of the role for them, which manifests itself with consequences such as psychological and physical injuries. However, the evaluation of the children shows the realization of a capable motherhood.
