Abstract
|
|
|
This Study is to understand my experiences of sudden loss of a family member and of volunteer counseling in Sewol ferry disaster applying Freud’s and Derrida’s grief theories using autoethnography.
As the result the story has been formed that I, grown in 70’s suppressive family, was a small idol in the family so that I felt strong responsibility and was used to repress feelings. I was traumatized for my little sister’s sudden death by a traffic accident, but unable to find any chances to express my feelings. So I suffered for various physical and emotional symptoms over 30 years. As I started to study Social Work I happen to see myself and to restore myself. In Sewol ferry disaster I counseled various people who were traumatized and was able to go on a grief process with them. Through this experiences I was able to face myself especially feelings of unreasonable guilts and express my feelings. Finally I was able to say good bye to my sister and hold the survivors’ hands as a counselor.
