Even though this group session was not focus on me, I gain so much insight about myself. Witnessing E.’s vulnerability and learning more about her story opened a door I had been terrified to face. Although E.’s story doesn’t necessary connects with mine, just sitting in the group room with her and seeing her tears and the way she’s grieving at that moment made me realized that at any moment, we can lose those we cherish. After 10 years of repressing this feeling, I finally found the courage to visit my grandma and have a heart to heart conversation with her because I was afraid that she would pass away and not hear my apologize. From this session, I am also very thankful of the group activity. After a year, I was finally able to express how grateful I am towards E. who has inspired and help improve my counseling skills.
