“I started hearing concerns like, ‘I lost my husband, they disappeared him, how do I manage this pain and sadness?’ I learned that there were other approaches that weren’t therapy but psychosocial processes that respected people’s cultures, like when you work on resilience and you construct a common history, you also construct links in the process that give you a support network. You start to see collectively, we have all suffered. Together we all want to change, we all want to leave behind sadness and to live – not to forget, because that will never happen, we will always remember those who we’ve lost – but we’ll move ahead and carry our story on our back, and we know that we’re not alone.”
