my daughter had to have 20 sessions of 1 hr counselling before she would talk about herself, let alone the loss of her dad.....she is only young but old enough to undersand the difficulties facing her through grief. She has made amazing progress these past months (my husband died 19 months ago) but she still has her bad days.....so keep on with the counselling....it really makes a difference.
Good luck.....xx

Everyone deals with loss differently, there is no set time to mourn someone.
Counselling is scary because it means you have to face those feelings inside yourself that you just don't want to deal with. For some people they need counselling straight away were as with others they need time. Wither it is 2 years, 6 years or 20 years it makes no difference as long as at the end of it all you feel better within yourself.
I hope you carry on feeling the benefits of your counselling and that one day you can move on from your loss.

I too lost my daughter while she replace into 27 to a under the impression of alcohol motive force. She left at the back of 3 sons a sister and me alongside with many different kin. so a techniques as being too grief struck for counseling is hog wash! may be a bereavement group run by human beings in comparable circumstances are in a variety ant spot then you truly are and that they do purely not decide to circulate the place you're lower back? I do understand the lack of ability of not desirous to do something which contain respiratory. Its been 4 yrs for me. popular and each nighttime i think of of my daughter. there is not something i might do to have her lower back right here with me. Even sell my soul to the devil! Please be chuffed to touch me if to you're in a position. And purely from time to time you could desire to take issues one 2d at a time. Is your ex the daddy of your daughter?? If he's, he might desire to be assisting you and himself get via this the terrific and the main you could!

There is nothing to be ashamed of in getting grief counseling. Good for you for recognizing that you need it and that it can help you. Too many people try to ignore the feelings. As long as you have a counselor that you can feel comfortable with, it can only help.

Fantastic that you're sticking with grieve counseling. This form of learning how to deal with the loss of a loved one is a much underused resource that many others could benefit from also. Bravo to you!!! Your mother would be proud of you and want you to live a full live.

Hey, Counselling is always difficult, cause you are ultimately facing your issues head on so you have to be ready to resolve them for you to be able to talk about them. Grief and mouring works in very different ways with different people. I think its great that you are now ready for the help and dont worry about packing it in previousy, you obviously wasnt ready to let go of your feelings. God luck and i hope all goes well.

Good for you angel, perhaps it wasn't beneficial at the time soon after your berevement because you were so hurt and wrapped up in numbness but now you are healing and seeing life again and able to take in help that is given. Stick with it and i wish you many brighter tomorrow's and just remember the lord giveth and he taketh away but we will all meet again.

Well done i am really pleased that it is helping you, people think that having counselling means that you are weak, but you are not.

Everything in its own time. The important thing is you're feeling better. Losing someone we love is one of the most difficult things in life, as I learned when my son died. Take care.
