Does bereavement counselling work?
I lost my mum 10 weeks ago after being her carer for two years and I feel crap. Had to make some tough decisions at the end and I'm struggling now. Will it help to talk about it?
I am so sorry for all of the losses you and your loved ones have suffered and I want you to know that you have touched my heart with your honesty. Thanks doesn't begin to cover what I want to say but it will have to do. Take care of yourselves and well done for still being here.
Yes ….
My last child was a stillborn and i really struggled with everything
I ended up having the counselling as i was in a mess
I had over 15 sessions and she helped me to understand and have closure
I was a bit sceptical at first but it really helped me getting over my loss

Definately. I offer it to owners who've lost their pets, and it seems to help them. I know its not the same, but its good to talk.

Sorry to hear that you lost your mum recently.
Yes counselling definitely helps.
Everyone copes with loss in different ways, and grief counsellors help you find the way that works for you.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mum. I lost my sister suddenly 8 weeks ago, and I miss her so much. I believe it does help to talk about these things, and if you front it head on, its a much safer way of doing it than letting it creep up on you. There are certain feelings that you'd be having that you probably need to talk over with a caring professional person. I actually found the internet with grief sites quite helpful. I don't know about you, but I suffer from a lot of guilt, and I probably need to talk to somebody too. My sincere condolances, mate, and email me if you wanna

Its very hard to get to grips and cope with someone that's so close to you dies. I was with my grandad the day he died he was my best friend we were so close. When it came to his funeral i couldn't get out the car as couldn't bare the thought of seeing him go into the ground. I had alot of abuse from family and friends for not getting out of the car. To this day i wish i had someone to talk to i have had to cope on my own. i will never get over that he has gone but i have come to terms with it ( if you get what i mean) Talking with people in groups who have the same grief or a counselor will help alot. It will take time to find closure and get on with you life it took me years and to this day i still have The odd cry. You need to think of the positives not the negatives. Its not nice when someone dies what ever the age or person this is part of life and we will never understand the reason to why this happens. You know that your mother is no longer suffering and that she lived her life to the full. Keep positive and think of the good times. I'm sorry for your loss and i hope you find closure soon.

It's worth going to, everyone deals with grief differently, my partner tried for about two years to come to terms with the loss of his dad, after two years he went to bereavement counselling and it finally helped him deal with his loss!
If you go a few times and think it's not for you, then thats fine you just have to stop going!
Take care, I lost my Mum 3 and a half years ago, and it was the worst experience of my life, and trust me I'd been through plenty of bad experiences before that!

hey guys i'm 32 and two years ahead of you, my sister died in her sleep one night in 2005, i dont know if seeing someone know will help, they say it takes up to two years to grieve and i think they are right. i had the chance to have help back then but luckily have a great group of people where i work and they were fantastic. i'd had sessions before (for something else)and at the time i couldnt deal with knowing that if i was having a good week and had a session say thursday i knew i would come out upset and ruin my "good week", also i have two young nephews i had to keep going for. i have had days where i have nearly driven my car under a lorry cause i sometimes blame myself and i just want to be with her, but then i remember the boys, my husband and my brother in law. its good to talk but not sure if you need to see a proffessional just yet, its still so fresh and raw. thinking of you and hope one day it gets a little easier

I have lost close people over many years, bereavement is natural and it will take time, but please talk about it to friends you will find you are not alone with this, we all go through it different.
My wife will never get over the passing of her farther, but tries to live with out him.
But I offer you my support and do understand how you must be in real pain, let it out, cry, talk, shout, scream.
Have strength about the decisions, ask and you shall be given
Sorry again
