本文以一位女性憂鬱症（Major Depression）住院病患為個案，護理期間為89年11月21日至90年2月11日，以敘事治療之外化、解構和重寫故事的觀點，來處理其未獲解決的哀傷所導致的自傷及無望感。在治療過程中，利用外化的會談，讓個案看見離婚是「事件」，與人的能力無關，學習自我接納後，而減少對離婚的自責與失落；藉著解構式的問句，引導其找出故事中的例外，經由正向經驗的敘說，體驗到自己能掌握及有能力的部分。最後，個案找到的希望是決定與女病友同住，積極和清潔工作的老闆聯繫，為出院作準備，重新擁有生命的故事。筆者運用敘事治療來協助個案療傷，讓個案從自我傷害和無望，進步到建設性地安排將來的生活，此護理過程著實帶給個案與筆者豐富的成長。
