La inteligencia espiritual como apertura narrativa del duelo
Grief is recognized as a human experience that transforms the way bereaved individuals understand how they inhabit the world, their lives, their relationships, and the meaning of their existence. This essay aims to explore the pathways offered by spiritual intelligence for understanding the narrative reconstruction of meaning and, from this perspective, to articulate approaches for pedagogical support. Within this framework, the following question is posed: How can spiritual intelligence contribute to the narrative reconstruction of meaning in experiences of loss and grief? The analysis connects spiritual intelligence with narrative and grief pedagogy, considering that spiritual intelligence fosters the search for meaning and openness to transcendence, while narrative enables individuals to symbolically reorganize the experience of loss and develop new ways of understanding their own life stories. It is concluded that this articulation provides an integrative framework for understanding grief as an experience of meaning reconstruction and for guiding educational support practices grounded in interiority, listening, language, symbolism, and transcendence.
