[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of the elderly people who participated in the "group recminiscence therapy".[Method] The group reminiscence therapy was carried out for the elderly people of S area of A city from May to August 2018. The documents written by students who participated in the recollecting method as co-leaders was analyzed. The analytic theme was taken as "the meaning in which elderly people look back upon their life." The concepts was generated by qualitative research according to the Grounded Theory Approach (M-GTA).[Results] Altogether, 19 concepts were generated.The core concept was "perception about own existence realized through support of the surrounding people". The three core categories constituting the core concept were generated as "review of own life," "pride to self," "composing mind to the future."[Discussion] "Review of own life," like the flow in a river, makes one aware of the path traversed in life and proud of one's ability to handle events at the turning points in life with support from others, which in turn leads to "pride to self" "Things to accomplish in the future" relates to the approach to the end of life through cherishing the current way of living and building smooth relationships with others.
