[DAY 340] "DEAD BACK HOME" GROUP THERAPY MINGLE
[This group therapy session takes place in an appropriately-sized study room in the Education Center. There is one large oval table for everyone to sit at, and a smaller snack table off at the side.]

[The session is divided into two parts.]

PART ONE: Mourning Yourself
Discussion
— Did you harbor any regrets before your death? And if so, is there anything you can do for them with your newfound time?
— Do you know how you died? How did you learn? Did you arrive near-death, or did you hear about it from a friend? How do you feel about the particular details of it?
— Who or what killed you? Have you forgiven it or them? Why or why not?
— Is there anything you wish you could change? Why? Discuss.

Activities
— Write your own obituary or eulogy. Once you've read it out loud, you'll be invited to burn it with a bot-offered candle. (The bot will not hand over the candle.)
— Picture yourself attending your own funeral. When it's your turn to pay your respects to yourself, what would you say? What thoughts occur to you?
— Write a letter to at least one of your loved ones. What would you say about your death to them?

[After this, there is a break. Coffee and tea are provided, along with both savory and sweet snacks. You're still not allowed to leave, though.]

PART TWO: Moving Forward
Discussion
— What dreams and hobbies did you have before? Can you pursue them now?
— Discuss what your previous goals were. What are similar things you can do to achieve them here?
— What kinds of relationships have you made, or would kinds would you like to have?

Activities
— Write down your plans for your future. Partner up and discuss them in-depth to flesh them out better.
— Come up with a daily routine, emphasizing your interests. Refer to others to help you find relevant resources or activities.
— Draw yourself 5, 10, or 25 years from now. Share it with a partner or the group.

((OOC: You're also welcome to come up with any of your own activities/therapeutic discussion topics! Everything offered here is just a starting point.))

	Yes... I suppose. A very uncheering thought. [it seems insensitive to mention he would prefer such finality to the return of another Loki, so he doesn't] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't know about that. [ C'mon now, you can't be insensitive around him! ] Rather do that than continue with this wank, if you ask me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[well in that case - ] - at least the worst will be over with, then! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's what I'm thinking. [ And since this is getting way too personal. ] What d'ya say? Death pact? End of therapy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[nodding, somewhat relieved - this had been genuinely discomforting] Ended and done. Closed? That is the aim, yes? Closed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. We're done. [ If the bots allows it. Maybe the tazing would be worth a break for freedom. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
