I'm your host Yukari Kunisue and joining me today in the studio is Miss Yuki Floyd of Hug Hawaii Konnichiwa Hug Hawaii Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Yuki-san, today, I think there are a lot of people who don't know much about Hagu Hawaii. So I would like to ask you to introduce yourself. Especially in Hawaii, what is the grief work in Japanese? Grief work is something that is not well known in Japanese. Can you tell us a little bit about that? Grief work is a group of people who have the sadness of losing their families, and they support what they are going to do from there. We are in that group. I think there are a lot of things that we can do with counseling, but we in Hagu Hawaii are called peer support. The staff, and all the people who gather there, are all the same individual experienced people. I see. So there are no experts in that group, but all the staff are individual experienced people. Is it different from group counseling? Yes, it is different. Tell us about the staff. How many people do you have? There are two staff members. In Hawaii, there are two. There are other people in Hawaii. I will talk about that later. I understand. Then, the peer support group that supports everyone in the group. I think there are a lot of individuals. I think there are people who have lost their families, their husbands, their wives, and their children. I think there are a lot of individuals who have lost their families. Is there a specific theme that you would like to talk about? There are a lot of different types of individuals. I think it would be better to share it in various ways. The Japanese community in Hawaii is not that big, so we have a lot of different types of individuals. For example, parents, and children. There is only one type of individual. We call it self-sacrifice. There are people who are self-sacrificed. There is a meeting where all different types of individuals come. Even if the self-sacrifice is included, it is not possible to talk about your own experience, or you want to hide it. Even if you talk about your own experience, there are times when you get attacked by the Japanese community. I see. I see. Now, we have a group of individuals who are self-sacrificed. We have a group of individuals who are self-sacrificed. I would like to talk about that later. First, let's talk about how many groups in Hawaii are self-sacrificed, and how many individuals are self-sacrificed. I see. When I was young, I lost my husband. I was a nurse, but I lost him at the hospital. At the hospital? After that, I lost my brother and my father at the hospital. I see. So, there was a meeting with those individuals. Other individuals also had the experience of meeting with those individuals. I lost my husband and my brother at the hospital, and I lost him in Japan. Later, I became a nurse, and I became an American. I brought my husband and two children to Hawaii. I was a Christian, so I went to the church. I met two people who had lost their husband. At first, I thought I would let them go, but I also had the experience of meeting with them. Each group had their own time, so I had the experience of meeting with them every week. We had the sad experience, but we had the experience of meeting with them every week. That was the origin of Hawaii. When was that? It was 2008. Yes, it was 10 years ago. Yes, it was 2008. Yes. At first, we had the same experience of meeting with friends. We had the same experience of drinking tea. We were not alone, but we had more people. I think there were people who went to the counseling group. Why did you meet them? That was the first time. That was the most important part. Of course, there were people who went to the counseling group. There were people who went to the counseling group and didn't know what they were doing. There were people who calmed down and understood what they were doing. I think there were many types of people. There were people who went to the counseling group and asked for advice from the counseling group. I think there were people who had the same experience. I see. I think it would be better if there were different types of people who had different opportunities. I think it would be better for everyone to go to the counseling group and not to go to the peer group. There are people who go to the counseling group in the US. There are people who go to the counseling group in the US. Japanese people are hard to understand. Japanese people are hard to understand. Japanese people are hard to understand. That is the key. When you are sad or when you are feeling the same way, you can express it in Japanese. I think you can feel at ease. I see. Yuki, when you first experienced it in Japan, did you have a group like that? No, I didn't. At that time, how did you overcome it? At that time, the current master, the current master, was a warrior. I think I had that kind of knowledge. When we were working together, if you want to cry, you can cry anytime. If you remember him, you can say it anytime. He said that to me. That's amazing. I think Japanese people don't say that to Japanese people. Japanese people don't say that to Japanese people. Don't say that to Japanese people. When I was crying, my master said, don't be sad. I see. Do you want to go forward? I think it's better not to say that. The current master, the current master, hasn't been married yet. I have been given the voice of, don't be sad. Whenever I remember him, he said that I shouldn't say it to others. He said that not to me. I didn't feel it. I was surprised. I see. The two friends who were in Hawaii, who experienced the same thing, said, Yuki, you can go forward like this time. I can't say it. It's okay if you want to cry. Yes, that's right. I got used to it, so I just wanted to give it some advice. I see. I don't know if Japanese people are good at hiding things, but there are things like that. If you put your voice like that, even men cry a lot when they come to Hawaii. I see. Please cry. Yes, that's right. But don't worry about it. You can say what you feel. You can say it in your own language. You don't have to cry. You don't have to cry. You don't have to say anything. You can listen to it. You can grow it. That's the kind of place you live in. You don't have to cry together. You don't have to cry. Even so, if you are healed, if you are there with your own existence, you can be a help to others, you can be a help to others, and if you are told that it's good that you are there, you can be healed next time. It's not that you have to raise your voice at the same time. If you are going to raise your voice at the same time, you can be healed here too. That's the kind of process. That's the kind of process. There are many different types of people. And there are many types of people who have lost their lives. I have asked you once. For example, the loss of the person you love is not just about losing the person. Yuki-san, you said that once. To lose the person, I thought it was just about losing the person I love. To lose the person means that all humans, physically, socially, mentally, and spiritually, are all human beings. To lose all of that means that there will be no standing in society. If you lose your husband, you will be called a vile person. If you lose the person you love, you will also lose the person you love. I see. I see. There are many types of people. I would like to take a short break here. I would like to ask you to take a short break after that. There are many types of people. I would like to talk to Yuki-san now. I have arrived in Japan. Hello, I am from Hawaii. I would like to take a short break here. Aloha, my name is Mark Shklav. I am the host of Think Tech Hawaii's Law Across the Sea. Law Across the Sea comes on every other Monday at 11am. Please join us. I would like to bring in guests who put all types of things that come across the sea to Hawaii. Not just law. Love, people, ideas, history. Please join us for Law Across the Sea. Aloha. I can't do that. I can't do that either. He's trained for over two years to become a service dog. Man, I wish I could be a service dog. We are live. I'm your host, Yukari Kunise. And this is Konnichiwa, Hawaii. Talking Hug, Hawaii. Japanese Language Relief, Grief Support Group. We are live. Thank Tech, Hawaii. Konnichiwa, Hawaii. Hug, Hawaii. This is a story about the care of the family that is separated from Hawaii. We started a little before the break. It was a story about a variety of species in the community. It's not just people. It's a social place. And the environment is changing. For example, if you don't have a family, you can't go. That's the case. Yes. There are husband and wife relationships. It's a physical thing. That's the case. All the roles that the husband played will be lost. For example, we change electricity or we repair cars. We repair cars. We repair everything. It's also a economic thing. If the husband and wife are lost, for example, cooking and other things, we have to do everything ourselves. It's a role-playing solution. We set a goal and say, let's go to Europe next year. The future. The hope and goal of the future. It's also in Hague, but even though we just bought the mansion and the wife was gone, there were people who were wondering why they bought it. Yes. There are many plans for the future. There is no identity. I see. There are various ways of living. There is a way of living. If you have time, you can spend time with your husband. There is a cycle. What is the time and the situation? What are the differences? I think there are a lot of differences. In the first place, the people around spend one or two months with each other. There are a lot of differences. I think it's time to calm down. I don't know what happened in the first month or two. It's a situation that we don't know. Yes. It's the saddest time of the year. If you spend one year alone, and you cry for a year, you cry all the time. What will you do if you are so weak? Actually, it's different. The results of the research are often said. From six months to two years it's a peak. It's a peak. In the first place, there are a lot of shocks and other issues. And support also can be obtained. There is a lot of support around it. But when everyone thinks it's all right, there is no support. And since then there have been I try to give it my all, but unfortunately, it doesn't go well with my feelings. Because I am in a situation of life, I am in a situation that is different from the normal person. So, I try to give it my all, but I don't give it my own feelings. I try to accept the person's appearance as they are, without any criticism. I just want them to accept their situation in a gentle way. For example, when you say something, you don't want them to say something like that. But when you say something like that, you feel like you are dead. Do you have that kind of words? Yes, I do. As I said earlier, you should get married as soon as possible. You should get married as soon as possible. You should get married as soon as possible. You shouldn't say that. Whenever you want to go outside, you should call me. If you feel lonely, you should call me. I would be grateful if you could really match this pace. I don't want you to say that because I want you to do this. If you are ready, I will be here. That's how it is. If you have any information you know, please tell us. For example, there are such things in Hawaii. You might not be able to go there. But if you want to go there, there is a place where you can go if you want to go there. It's not a support for you. It's not a support for you. You might not be able to go there now. You might not want to go there. But when you want to go there, you feel like you have that. In Hawaii and in the US, there is a place where you can go if you want to go there. It's a very important place for you. I heard that you are not only in Hawaii, but also in Japan. I am in Tokyo, Obihiro and Osaka. Obihiro? It's not a weird place. It's a place where you can fly. Have you ever been to Hawaii? Yes, I have been to Hawaii on the internet. In Japan, I want to support my local people. I want to support my local people. You are not only in Tokyo, but also in Obihiro and Osaka. If you want to go there, you can go there if you want to go there. Yes, you can go there if you want to go there. In Hawaii, there is a place where you can go there. What else do you do? We always have two staff members. There is no appointment. We always have staff members. We have been there for 10 years. 10 years? We have been there for 10 years. We have been there a few times.

If you want to be a member, you can become a member. We don't have any contact with the homeless shelter. How much do you have to pay for the shelter? We have about 45 dollars per year. What other areas do you want to contact the homeless shelter? There is a website called HUG-Hawaii, www.hug-hawaii.com. HUG-Hawaii. Finally, HUG-Hawaii is HUG, right? Where did you come from, HUG-Hawaii? I thought of HUG-Hawaii at the very beginning, but H-U-G has a letter H-U-G. Help and understanding for grief. Help and understanding for grief. For grief.
