香港善導會除了為在囚及釋囚人士做康復更生工作，也做好多精神健康服務。
去之前他們說「上星期我們圍讀了一次你的作品，大家都喜愛。」我也好俾心機準備，上次秀英姑娘講得咁好，我再聽也學到好多關於閱讀治療和哀傷輔導的事情，想不到做了四年還學到好多新知識。
這班中好多人都是姨姨叔叔，他們參觀了區內的花店、紙紮舖、殯儀館、棺材店、賣骨灰盅的店、中大無言老師中心等等，將來就要設計一條介紹這一帶這類設施的導賞路線，相信因為香港「華洋混雜」說起這些題目，一個殯儀館內會有道教佛教基督教儀式，亦會特別有趣。
在課程中他們也要探討吓大家的生死觀，分享吓自己的故事，不竟是一個長達八周的課程。
無疑他們的分享也好有趣，說到自己家中小朋友面對死亡的事情，有人的媽媽老公已去世三十年了，但仍不能談丈夫的事，一句也不能；有人女兒一想起婆婆、看見她的照片就會大哭。可見死亡此事其實都縈繞好多人的生活。
他們的面上都掛住十分漂亮的笑容，又讚我好叻，故事寫得好好，畫得好靚，又不斷叫我加油，又不斷祝福我本書賣好啲！也有問我下本諗住寫啲乜嘢。好多時人們都想像精神復元人士一定是愁眉苦臉，但其實他們都是我們身邊的普通人，雖然他們可能經歷過十分黑暗可怕的時刻，曾經試圖自殺或濫藥，但其實都像大家一樣，沒有什麼可怕的。（只是有些有時因為仍在服藥而特別累）導師也有說起，他們也許永遠不會完全康復，但有機會復元-成為一個完整可以自己生活的人。
他們都很願意跟大家分享故事，好多都參加了活動好多年了。善導會也出版了他們寫的真人真事，其實這些故事假如多啲人知道就好了，因為實在太多人對各種精神病仍然一知半解。他們也有一些合作的主意，希望將來有機會啦。
我也好想紀錄一下這次說了的東西，下一篇寫吧，或者寫了出來下次再有機會分享時就會講得更好。
*BOOK SHARING *
Did a book sharing with a group of rehabilitating mentally ill patients who are training to be community tour guides 社區導賞員. The org also works with rehabilitated criminals too. Their focus is on facilities in hung hom that are related to life and death issues. It’s half way through their course now, they visited many funeral homes, crematorium, flower shop, 紙紮舖 and coffin shop and eg Cuhk 無言老師centre etc, and they’d design their own guided tour route.
Without a doubt their sharing after mine is super interesting and I feel so loved and blessed, and they were so sweet and encouraging and lovely!!!! They asked me what I will write next :p They also shared their written stories with me as gift, a lot of them had debilitating addiction or suicidal problems before. And are still on medicine. The participants are so sweet and smiley (sometimes tired cuz of medicine). They’re so willing to share, and people of certain age and experience tells such good stories But had gone through some real struggling moments in life. They also do a lot of human library events too. I really love reading/hearing stories as it’s like getting a personal gift from people.
