abstract="This paper suggests a heuristic framework for understanding elderly women's &quot;lived experience&quot; of lifelong intimate partner violence (IPV). This framework is based on the phenomenological qualitative studies of 31 women, aged 60-83, using a semi-structured interview guide. From the results, a matrix emerged built on two axes. The first axis consists of three phenomenological dimensions: suffering; a &quot;ticking clock&quot;; and life wisdom. The second axis consists of four themes that emerged from the content analysis: loneliness; regret; being in a state of waiting; and being a living monument to perpetual victimhood. The practical implications of these phenomenological findings are then discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
