The depth of grief at the loss of a loved one is not easily understood except by those involved. This is because there is not only the result of the death, but also the process of living together, the passage of time, and history. For example, when we watch a sports game, we are moved by the result of the victory of the player or team we are cheering for. However, the players, coaches, and managers who actually fought in the game are moved differently from us ordinary spectators because they experienced not only the result but also the process of the game together with the players. In the same way, those of us who provide grief care must understand that the grief we feel is only a fraction of the grief of the people involved, even though we may think we understand it.
The grief caused by the loss of a loved one will not disappear no matter how much the surrounding circumstances change, as long as the fact of death remains unchanged. This is because it is the person who creates the situation of grief over the fact of death, and it depends on how the person himself or herself perceives the situation.
Therefore, we believe that it is basically a problem that the person concerned has to make an effort to overcome.
However, there are naturally some people who cannot cope with it. For them, there are specialists such as psychiatrists, psychosomatic physicians, psychosomatic medicine physicians, and clinical psychologists. In a different field, there are religious people who provide support for those seeking emotional healing and salvation.
In the case of Grief Care by Wind Phone, there is no one who can be called a psychotherapist. Nor are there any religious people. By having the grief sufferers face the phone and ask themselves questions about their own grief and suffering, they can objectively observe and sort out the facts that are causing their grief, thereby promoting acceptance, awakening their “self-healing power,” and gaining “awareness” of redirecting their own consciousness. It can be said to be psychotherapy (self-psychotherapy) in which the patient gains “awareness” of the cause of the grief by objectively observing and sorting out the facts.
Why do people who have lost a loved one need “Wind Phone”?
There is a very human reason. In the process of accepting the reality of the loss of a loved one, one needs a “wind phone” to ask oneself “How can I cope with the death of a loved one? Because they cannot accept the reality of their loved one’s sudden disappearance, they somehow try to talk with the “wind phone” and remember the person who is gone by using the “wind phone.
