520 |a This article examines the core existential experience in the narratives of the spouses and partners of people experiencing mental illness, and the way this core experience is linked to religious, spiritual and secular existential meaning making. A narrative approach was employed to conduct and analyse the interviews with 16 Finnish spouses and partners. The results represent the core existential experience of balancing sharing and distancing in relation to a spouse experiencing mental illness. Religious, spiritual and secular existential meaning making were employed as coping methods. The results are interpreted in the light of existential concerns discussed by the existential psychotherapists Viktor Frankl, Rollo May and Irvin Yalom. In health care, therapeutic and pastoral practices, the multidimensional nature of the core experience needs to be recognised.
