Abstract

The purpose of this human becoming hermeneutic research was to explore the meaning of lingering presence. The emergent meanings were: (a) A lingering presence surfaces in the cherished remembered which changes moment to moment as new experiences arise in the now and shed different light on the was and will be; (b) a lingering presence is lived in private ways, yet with others in a different alone-togetherness; and (c) a lingering presence is living with the familiar-unfamiliar in the now moment, while moving beyond with different possibles. The findings are discussed in relation to how they contribute to nursing knowledge development.
