Through observation and interviews, this qualitative research examines the phenomena that occur in the lives of the Timorese Hoineno Ex-Timtim. Findings: The meaning contained in one moment of grief can be a cultural-based traumatic counseling approach for the Timorese Hoineno Ex-Timtim to start a new life after returning to Timor.
