Heal is a day were families that have lost a loved family member to tragic experience meet up in one room, to discuss and mourn. H.E.A.L the charity organization that holds the day every season, wants to gather various families from different backgrounds to discuss how the lose has affected them.
There plan is to separate the childrenâÂÂs attention with various activities and games to remember the person that they had lose. While this happens the adults discuss how they fell on a personal bases.
They discuss who there loved one was to them and how that loved one passed on.
The answer has never been pleasant to hear most of the volunteers and workers said but it has to be said so the person can open up more to the people around them.
The trend usually goes from gun violence to terminal cancer, usually young or/and in pain for a number of years before the end of the thread.
The people in the therapy section vary, there are people returning to discuss what is going on in there lives since the lose and there are people who just lost a family member recently.
One woman lost her beloved a week before coming in with her young daughter she did not say one word until a certain event occurred.
When it was her turn to speak she started moaning uncontrollable until the group huddled around her and embraced her. âÂÂWe have all been there,â said a fellow moaner.
Through her moans she was barely able to get out her story but she held through and spoke and shared, and then the next person went on.
âÂÂI remember my father,â said a young girl about to enter the fifth grade. Her mother started moaning âÂÂBut itâÂÂs been 2 years and IâÂÂm starting to get used to life without him, it feels like a new beginning.âÂÂ
âÂÂYes,â a worker responded, âÂÂthat’s what they would all want to be the final outcome.âÂÂ
