Kumi

Journey of Drifting Clouds

Society EN ↓ 36 episodes

Hi. I am Kumi. (ENG - JP) Sharing stories has some healing effects and it allows me to feel more… Through my losses, I’ve learned that feeling the feelings is the only way for me to cope and move forward, so I decided to talk about my journey of grief and loss and many other things. So yes, this is a place for me to become vulnerable but at the same time, I become real as well. I’m happy to share. It’s not just the death that we experience grief from. We experience all kinds of losses, changes and adjustments here and there… and grief is ultimately necessary in our lives to feel joy and love…...
