As we come to the end of what has been an exceptional year, it makes sense to take time to pause and reflect. This year has certainly not been without its challenges and its immense losses. It has however also been a year of innovations, heightened creativity, and development. And so, as we move into 2021, reflecting on what has been and anticipating what is to come, we can both mourn and celebrate. Surely one of our greatest losses this year as qualitative researchers has been the passing of Cathy Charmaz. Her work and gentle mentoring was a nurturing and formative resource for so many of us. The legacy of her innovative and creative work will continue to guide researchers for many years to come. This is clearly reflected in the many submissions we have received and published this year focused on the use of grounded theory (cf. Canlas & Karpudewan, 2020; Coşkun, 2020; Kassam et al., 2020; Qureshi & Ünlü, 2020). Despite her enduring legacy, her continuing insights, kindness, and generosity of spirit will be sorely missed.

反思一个非正统年份的得失

当我们走到非同寻常的一年的结尾时，花些时间停下来思考一下是很有意义的。今年当然不是没有挑战和巨大损失的。然而，这也是创新，增强创造力和发展的一年。因此，随着我们进入2021年，对过去发生的事情进行反思，并预见即将发生的事情，我们既可以哀悼也可以庆祝。当然，作为定性研究人员，我们今年最大的损失之一就是Cathy Charmaz的去世。她的工作和温柔的指导对我们许多人而言都是一种滋养和形成的资源。她的创新性和创造性工作的遗产将继续指导研究人员很多年。我们今年收到并发表的许多关于扎根理论运用的论文清楚地反映了这一点（参见Canlas＆卡普德万（Karpudewan），2020年；考斯昆，2020年；Kassam等人，2020年；Qureshi和Ünlü，2020年）。尽管她拥有不朽的遗产，但她将永远怀念她不断的洞察力，友善和慷慨的精神。
