I'm so sorry to hear of your loss @TealSwan. Bereavement counselling is a very good idea. Bereavement counsellors are kind and empathic and will listen to you without judgement, and that is very helpful in helping you get to a place where the feelings are less overwhelming. It might take a while but I honestly recommend it.
Best wishes and a hug. 🫂

I had some counselling after the death of my ds last year. Don't think it was the right time ...too soon. I'm going to have some more in January .
Grief is awful...its always there but changes. X
