The company offers free psychological support to families through the Mãos que Acolhem project
Summary
A funeral services company and an institute specializing in therapy, health and psychoanalysis collaborate to improve the lives of those who have experienced bereavement. The Mãos que Acolhem project offers free meetings every first Thursday of the month in the São Caetano region (São Paulo Metropolitan Region).
Mother’s Day is approaching and many people and families relive the pain of mourning on this date, remembering that that very special person is no longer physically present to receive or share gifts. With this in mind, OSSEL Assistência (Organização Sorocabana Seol Empreendicos de Luto), on the market for 36 years operating in the funeral segment, gives voice to the Mãos que Acolhem project, which completed one year in March.
Organized in collaboration with the Instituto Soul Laço, a specialist in therapies, health and psychoanalysis, the meeting takes place every first Thursday of each month, free of charge, in the OSSEL Assistência space (Avenida Goiás, 459, Santo Antônio neighbourhood, in São Caetano – Metropolitan Region of Sao Paulo), at 7.00 pm.
The goal is to talk about grief, to provide acceptance and cover for those who are part of this process, be it more recent or even distant, after all, accepting the departure of a loved one is part of a painful process that takes time.
“Dealing with grief, for both the child and the grieving mother, brings with it important references to address. The grieving son suffers the rupture of his own identity, from which she comes, while the grieving mother suffers the loss of a projected and idealized history as her son. In view of such pain, it is important in this process to embrace oneself and experience each phase corresponding to the pain. Experiencing these processes does not mean forgetting your loved one, on the contrary, when you look inside, you will meet the person who lives and will live forever inside you,” explains the psychoanalyst and owner of the Soul Laços Institute, Lasso Joyce Feliciano.
According to Natalia Diniz, director of the Velório de São Caetano unit and also psychologist and responsible for the creation of the Mãos que Acolhem project, the project has conquered and eased the hearts of those who are going through the pain of farewell.
“The monthly meeting is a balm for people to have a say and relieves homesickness and many other emotions. It is an invitation for those associated with OSSEL and also for those who are not part of our big family. The aim is to add, to help, to extend a helping hand. These people are not alone. We take care above all of those who remain. And this welcome is extremely important and necessary, and above all human,” says the director.
According to psychoanalyst Joyce, on Mother’s Day or any other date, the person facing pain must allow himself to stop, cry, talk, remember and even smile.
“If you feel comfortable, pay your respects, whether through a letter, a song, a meal or whatever your moment allows, to continue the legacy of love and share a day lived amidst so much affection,” he concludes.
