bereavement counselling - anyone gone down that road?

[bummer]

Did it help? I'm not coping and doctor is talking about pills and I do not want to go down that road.

Yes I had it when I lost my Granny aged 15 - I have a tendency to bottle things up which is not good.

Give the counselling a try before the pills, I'd say.

Best of luck

hi bummer, i lost my mum when i was 15 and my gp suggested it,but to be honest it wasnt for me and eventually i ended up on ads but everyone is different so id say give it a go,hope it helps k9kuts.

I had bereavement counselling with a psychotherapist after my second baby was prematurely stillborn.
I cannot recommend it highly enough bummer. We actually spent little time talking about my grief per se and a lot about my reactions to other people's responses to the death of our baby. It probably salvaged my relationship with my mother, and with my dh, for example.
Well worth looking into.

CRUSE certainly helped my friend when her DH died suddenly - she said she wouldn't have got through it without her counseller.

I would definitely investigate it.

A friend of mine has recently started seeing someone at CRUSE -she had been in a state since the death of her Dad last year but has found the counselling is really starting to improve things for her.

She had been a bit reluctant to go as she didn't think it would help but it is doing.

Give it a go

thank you so much every one. Will give it a go. Feeling a lot better the last couple of days and wondering if I will be wasting someone's valuable time but when it hits it hits bad and well I'll stop there. Thank you again.
