Chairman of the association is Doctor in psychology Luciana Orsatti, psychologist and psychotherapeutic, who reached psychodynamic psychotherapy after 25 years of her teaching activity after the maturity of a choice that wasn’t easy. In fact, the course she undertook shows us in all its stages the asperity of a constant occasion with an afflicted needy mankind.
After an apprenticeship in a hospital, being in touch with young seriously ill patients, Doctor Orsatti has naturally felt that she had to support the families struck by the untimely loss of the strongest affection in difficult social contexts where the burden of economic difficulty and the solitude are added to pain and sorrow. So the tragedy of the families, of the parents constrained to face a “heart-rending” mourning because it’s felt as unnatural, becomes her central human and therapeutical interest.
Thanks to the clinical experience she ripened - in fact she’s one of the founders of the Psycho-analytic Institute in the Abruzzi- she’s been in service for years in her supporting, assisting and participating activity in an universe of pain which too often slips the attention of the most. And it’s exactly from the need of socialising this experience, of nourishing it with new energy, that “The son’s room” began its activity and it isn’t only the place where the pain crystallises, but it’s also a precious space where everybody’s know-how in the human field, their capacity in human relationships may break pain’s severity.
Her staff is formed out of psychologists, physicians and, above all, of simple citizens who have met with this kind of mourning and have found the strength of asking for help. In fact, their co-operation and their courage have allowed us to listen to their stories, their personal testimony which they have lived and, above all, to single out the instruments which can help in such a painful circumstance. Their real life experiences have been precious examples of hope and they have helped us to find the answers to many doubts and questions which arise during the moments of deeper pain. They made us understand, above all, that the death of one’s child is an event the splits the life in two parts and after that you can’t never be the same again. With the passing of time and the help and co-operation of the others who have been through the same experience and with the guiding help of an expert who knows how to control their pain and to provide an efficient emotional and psychological support, it’s possible to become conscious that the fact has really happened and that nothing and nobody can make it possible to turn back time in order to sponge it out. On the contrary, accepting the other’s help you’ll arrive to bear the event, to take emotionally note of it, you’ll start the course “of survival” and discover that it’s still possible to live, to love, to smile.
