Ziema bija iestājusies pavisam stingra.

Winter had set in quite firmly.

Sniegs ārā krita klusi, it kā baidoties traucēt.

The snow outside fell silently, as if afraid to disturb.

Mākoņi plāni apsedza debesu zilgmi.

The clouds thinly covered the blue of the sky.

Psihiatrijas nodaļas telpās bija silti un mājīgi.

Inside the psychiatry ward, it was warm and cozy.

Terapijas telpa, kaut arī vienkārši iekārtota, izstaroja mieru.

The therapy room, though simply furnished, radiated peace.

Gaisma no lampām deva siltumu, un krēsli bija izvietoti aplī, aicinot uz sarunu.

The light from the lamps provided warmth, and the chairs were arranged in a circle, inviting conversation.

Šī bija pirmā grupas terapija pēc Jaunā gada svinībām.

This was the first group therapy session after the New Year celebrations.

Uz krēsla netālu no loga sēdēja Laima.

On a chair near the window sat Laima.

Viņa bija jauna sieviete ar tumšiem matiem, kas vējā šūpojās.

She was a young woman with dark hair that swayed in the wind.

Laima bija nemierīga.

Laima was restless.

Viņas prātā grozījās jautājums: "Vai kāds mani sapratīs?".

A question swirled in her mind: "Will anyone understand me?"

Viņa baidījās, ka draugu panākumi viņu atstās aiz muguras.

She feared that the success of her friends would leave her behind.

Rihards, kuru nomāca depresija, sēdēja blakus.

Rihards, burdened by depression, sat next to her.

Viņa rokas bija stalti nogurušas uz ceļiem.

His hands lay heavily tired on his knees.

Vidēja vecuma vīrietis, kuram neizdevās kādreiz izmantot dzīves iespējas.

A middle-aged man who had never quite managed to seize life's opportunities.

Bet šeit viņš cerēja ko mainīt.

But here, he hoped to change something.

Ilze, pieredzējusi psihiatra māsa, ieņēma centrālo krēslu.

Ilze, an experienced psychiatric nurse, took the central chair.

Viņas acīs mirdzēja atjautība un uzticība savam darbam.

Her eyes shone with ingenuity and dedication to her work.

Ar siltumu balsī Ilze mudināja grupu dalīties ar Jaungada apņemšanām.

With warmth in her voice, Ilze encouraged the group to share their New Year's resolutions.

Istabai kļuva klusāk.

The room grew quieter.

Katrs pārdomāja, ko gribētu sasniegt.

Each person reflected on what they wanted to achieve.

Laima jutās kā uz klints malas, viņas sirdspuksti kļuva dzirdami.

Laima felt as if on the edge of a cliff, her heartbeat becoming audible.

Bet tad viņa izdevās pāri bailēm un teica: "Es gribu justies vienota, savienota ar citiem.

But then she managed to push past her fears and said, "I want to feel united, connected with others.

Lai es nebūtu viena savā prātā."

So that I'm not alone in my mind."

Telpa iegrima klusumā, tikai Ilzes draudzīgā skatiena siltums apliecināja atbalstu.

The room fell into silence, only Ilze's friendly gaze providing warmth and support.

Tad dzirdēja Riharda balsi: "Man šķiet, mēs visi kaut ko šādu vēlamies.

Then Rihards's voice was heard: "I think we all want something like that.

Pat laimi brīžos, kad tā šķiet nepieejama."

Even happiness in moments when it seems unreachable."

Viņa vārdi atbalsojās istabā.

His words echoed in the room.

Laima izbrīnīti uzlūkoja apkārtējos.

Laima looked around in surprise.

Tas, kas sākotnēji bija šķitis kā sarežģīts kalns, tagad likās mazinājies.

What initially seemed like a daunting mountain now seemed diminished.

Viņi visi bija tur kopā uz viena tilta, saklausot viens otra sāpes un cerības.

They were all there together on one bridge, hearing each other's pain and hopes.

Saruna sāka plūst vieglāk, sirds pie sirds dzirdēja patiesībā.

Conversation began to flow more easily, heart to heart, hearing truthfully.

Kad sesija beidzās, Laima sajuta ko jaunu – nelielu uzmundrinājuma dzirksti.

When the session ended, Laima felt something new—a spark of encouragement.

Viņa saprata, ka viņas bailes nebija vienīgās.

She realized that her fears were not the only ones.

Tagad viņa juta, ka šeit ir vieta, kur viņa var atrast atbalstu un pati kļūt par atbalstu citiem.

Now she felt that here was a place where she could find support and become a support for others.

Ziemas ainava aiz loga vēl turpināja mainīties sniegbaltiem dūmu vērpetēm,

The winter landscape outside the window continued to change with snow-white swirls of smoke,

un laiks šķita stāvam klusu,

and time seemed to stand still,

bet Laima bija ieguvusi kaut ko vairāk par apsēšanās sesiju - viņa bija atradusi cerību uz vienotību.

but Laima had gained something more from the session - she had found hope for unity.
