There was interest in sharing very personal stories about friends and family members and their contribution to the participants journey toward death. It was fascinating to learn how each person was influenced by their interpersonal experiences. Several people had professional experiences that also contributed to their growth. One participant commented on how vulnerable the group was willing to be and how that, in turn, encouraged more openness. We probed into some unexplored places and people were left with questions to further explore. It was satisfying to see so much contemplation. It warmed my heart to be a witness.
