HERNANDEZ RUIZ, Laura. From shame and guilt to fear. Chain of emotions after a suicide. Entrediversidades rev. cienc. soc. humanid. [online]. 2022, vol.9, n.1, pp.272-297. Epub 15-Mar-2023. ISSN 2007-7610. https://doi.org/10.31644/ed.v9.n1.2022.a11.
Emotions reveal the ideas, perceptions and beliefs that individuals build on those issues that touch their lives in a sensitive way. The experience of an event such as suicide raises, reproduces and conciliates emotions among the relatives and some members of their community, which in turn causes changes in social dynamics. In this article, rather than trying to understand the causes that lead someone to commit suicide and the feelings that can lead to this act, we focus on the emotions experienced by those who remain. This is done from the review of the interviews conducted with three women from Yucatán, between 2006 and 2007, after the suicide of a relative. From their speeches, the situations that summon different emotions are identified and an analysis is made of how they interweave, as a chain that accompanies the mourning, which reveals the social conditions -difference and subordination- in the actors’ daily life. Likewise, the changes that originate in the dynamics of the community are recognized.
