On Joy-Sorrow: A Paradoxical Pattern of Human Becoming

F. Beryl Pilkington, RN, PhD

School of Nursing, York University, Toronto, Canada, bpilking{at}yorku.ca

The idea of paradox is central to Parse’s human becoming theory. Joy-sorrow is an example of a paradoxical pattern of human becoming which was earlier investigated by Parse, using her research method. Here, the concept is revisited and further explored in light of selected literature, including a classic work on grief and other writings on aesthetic experience. Connections are also drawn between joy-sorrow and the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi.
