Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui resiliensi ibu single parent dalam mempertahankan hidup. Penelitian dilakukan terhadap 3 janda (1 cerai mati dan 2 cerai hidup, umur 44-70 tahun) melalui observasi dan wawancara dengan analisis reduksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kemampuan resiliensi ibu single perent secara keseluruhan rendah, dilihat dari masing-masing aspek. Namun subjek DAS memiliki resiliensi baik dibandingkan subjek RN dan SW, dikarenakan DAS berusia lanjut, berstatus singel parent cerai mati, sudah lama kehilangan dan sudah terbiasa hidup sendiri. Sedangkan subjek RN dan SW berstatus singel parent cerai hidup dan merasakan trauma saat menikah. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, khususnya bagi single motherdengan adanya status dan kondisi yang baru, hal tersebut bukanlah sebuah alasan untuk menyerah menghadapi suatu masalah. Bagi masyarakat sekitar diharapkan lebih memperhatikan kondisi single mother, terlebih kepada single mother yang memiliki tingkat kesulitan ekonomi dan menanggung banyak beban. Tidak hanya itu, konselor juga memiliki peran penting meningkatkan resiliensi single mother agar dampak psikologis dalam menjalankan status baru sebagai single mother dapat diminimalkan.This study aims to determine the resilience of single parent mothers in life. The study was conducted on 3 widows (1 divorce alive and 2 death divorced, aged 44-70 years) through observation and interviews with data reduction analysis, data presentation and conclusion. The results showed that the overall resilience of single parent mothers was low, seen from each aspect. However, DAS subjects have good resilience compared to RN and SW subjects, because DAS is elderly, single parent status is divorced, has long lost and is used to living alone. Meanwhile, the subjects RN and SW were single parents, divorced and felt traumatized when they got married. Based on the results of the study, especially for single mothers with new statuses and conditions, this is not a reason to give up facing a problem. The surrounding community is expected to pay more attention to the condition of single mothers, especially single mothers who have a level of economic difficulty and bear a lot of burdens. Not only that, counselors also have an important role in increasing single mother resilience so that the psychological impact of carrying out a new status as a single mother can be minimized
