2016年1月25日～2月26日までの間、福井赤十字病院の和田幸子看護師が活動に取り組みました。
ある日訪ねた男性は当初は話しかけても応えてくれず、やんわりと拒む様子が見受けられました。それでも何回か話しかけるとやっと重い口を開いて、通院で心身ともに疲れてつらいことや不眠が続いて苦しいこと、浪江町に帰りたいが帰れないかもしれないと思ってしまうことなどを、ぽつりぽつりと打ち明けてくれました。「初めは受け入れてもらえませんでしたが、お話に真剣に耳を傾けていくうちに心を開いていただき、いぶかしげな表情から明るい笑顔に変わりました。とてもよい出会いになりました」と和田看護師は振り返りました。
From January 25, 2016 to February 26, 2016, Ms. Sachiko Wada was involved in the health consultation program.
On one visit, she met a man. At first, he did not respond to Ms. Wada and he seemed reluctant to accept her presence. However, she continued to talk to him until he finally responded. He began telling her that he was physically and mentally exhausted from frequent doctor visits and that his sleepless nights troubled him. He also stated that he wanted to return to Namie, but thought it might be impossible. Ms. Wada looks back on the visit and says: “At first, he would not accept me. However, as I listened to him attentively, he began to open his mind and his dubious look finally changed to a smiling one. It was a very wonderful encounter.”
