Thanks for sharing your experience. Now I know why you were so quiet after you got back to Germany. When I visited Japan last summer, there was only one small earthquake. It was interesting, but in no way gave me an idea of what it must have been like to be there the week of March 11 last year.

If you have money for a vacation still, I urge you to go. It will help you put your ghosts to rest. Maybe you can go to Kyuushuu or Hokkaido, neither of which are quite so prone to earthquakes.

Your step-father sounds heartless. It must have been so difficult to be worried about your friends in Japan, and everything you had come to love, and have him speaking so cruelly.

*hugs*

I don't really know what to say and I think there are only few things i can say at all that would not sound completely foolish or something.

One thing I can say though is that your stepfather has no clue what he is talking about and that I hope you took noone of his rambling to serious.

The other thing is I think you should go back to Japan and see and feel for yourselv how it is now. Even if it is just to calm your thoughst and worries it would be a good thing so your mind can lay that topic to rest. It's like getting back on the bike after having a bike accident. Might sound stupid, but it actually helps.

Third I am very glad that you made it back savely and are still alive, even if you can't be glad for yourselve once a while.
You were lucky that day and luck is nothing bad, but something to be cherrished. That doesn't mean though you should'nt be sad for all the tragedies that happened, but you can still be glad that you were lucky that day.
I hope i didn't say anything disturbing or misleading or alike. Feel hugged

Writing down the happenings may be also a way to get over it

*hug* finally found some time to read it.
Ich erinner mich noch, wie froh ich war, dass es euch gut ging.

Ich wünsche mir echt, dass es sich in Japan mal beruhigt D:
Aber ich kann auch nichts machen als zu beten.

*noch einmal ganz doll drück*

Ich denke es ist schon mal gut dass du das alles aufgeschrieben hast. Selbst wenn man schon mehrere Erdbeben in Japan erlebt hat kann man sich glaube ich nur ausmalen wie es wirklich am 11.3. war. Ich selbst hatte ja das "glück" 2 wochen vorher wieder nach Australien zurück zu kehren (wo kurz vorher alles überflutet und von nem Zyklon verwüstet wurde) hatte aber dennoch sehr viel Angst um Freunde die zu dem Zeitpunkt in Tokyo bzw in Sendai und Miyagi waren. Zum Glück ist niemandem etwas passiert den ich kenne, aber wenn ich sehe wie viele Menschen Familie, Freunde und ihr Zuhause verloren haben, zerreist es mir das Herz. Und was mich vorallem schockiert, ist das die Japanische Regierung nicht wirklich was tut. Ein Jahr später leben noch immer zu viele Leute in notunterkünften, leute die evakuiert werden wollen, wird nicht geholfen. Ihnen wird nicht zugehört

Thank you so much for writing it all down, it is really insightful
