Communication is essential for healing from "summary" of Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
In this small café in Tokyo, hidden away from the bustling city streets, there exists a unique opportunity - the chance to travel back in time. But there is a catch. You can only go back to a specific moment in your past, and you must sit in a particular seat in the café. Oh, and there's one more thing - you can't change the present or the future. You can only observe, listen, and communicate with the person you have traveled back to see. The café's owner, Fumiko, explains to each visitor that many people come seeking closure, seeking answers to questions that have haunted them for years. They come hoping to mend broken relationships, to say the things left unsaid, to find peace in the midst of pain. And through the act of communication, through the power of words spoken and heard, healing begins to take place. One woman, Natsuki, travels back to see her sister, who died tragically young. She longs to tell her sister how much she loved her, how much she misses her. And in that moment, as she speaks from her heart, she feels a sense of release, a sense of peace washing over her. The act of communication, of expressing her feelings openly and honestly, brings her a measure of healing she never thought possible. Another visitor, Kazu, travels back to see his wife, who is suffering from dementia. He longs to tell her how much she means to him, how much he cherishes the time they spent together. And as he sits across from her, speaking softly and gently, he sees a flicker of recognition in her eyes. He knows that, even if she may not fully understand, his words have reached her heart. And in that moment, he feels a deep sense of connection, a deep sense of peace. Through these stories and more, we see the power of communication in healing. We see how words, spoken and heard, have the ability to mend broken hearts, to soothe troubled souls, to bring comfort in the midst of pain. And we are reminded that, no matter how difficult the circumstances, no matter how deep the wounds, there is always a chance for healing when we open ourselves up to the power of communication.
