The aim of this research is to study the psychological and emotional pain of missingchildren’s parents and their experiences of suffering. From this, I expect to propose a supportiveprogram to aid in their recovery. Six parents of long-term missing children joined this researchand phenomenological methodology was applied to interpret the results. Data were collected byin-depth interview and various written records, and they were analyzed using Van-Manen’smethodology.I constructed 7 categories after analyzing and categorizing the line-by-line units of the data.Missing children’s parents have suffered from severe emotional distress, social isolation, andfamily disorganization since their child went missing. However, they selected strategies to makepositive changes in their lives as the years went by. They had a strong belief that they wouldbe reunited with their missing child someday. They tried to be good people so as to be reunitedwith their missing child and sublimated their grief and guilty conscience in noble humanity.Moreover, they did their best to find other missing children in addition to their own child. Inthis study, practical suggestions are made on the basis of these results. It is necessary toprovide specific counseling intervention to address the negative emotions experienced by missingchildren’s parents. It is also necessary to provide case management programs, financial support,and family healing programs for the families of missing children.
