(27,900 posts)Since the beginning of last year, I lost my sister, my mother and my aunt. Before that, I lost my father and older brother.
I tried getting through the losses of my dad and brother on my own. But I realized, last year, that I needed help so I turned to a Grief Counselor.
Mine was provided through hospice, but I know that most funeral homes can put someone in touch with out, or you with them.
I talk to my counselor once or twice a month, and it really helps. I find out that things I am feeling are not something to worry about. She gives me great advice about how to handle and channel my grief. She gets me talking about great memories and is very patient when tears interrupt my stories. She is encouraging and understand.
I am going to keep you in my thoughts and heart, dear Choie. And a big celestial hug is headed your way.
