bereavement counselling

Hi everyone,hope you are all coping as well as can be. I lost my husband 12 months ago seems only like yesterday. I have not been coping well,went to the doctors and she gave me some tablets to help with the depression.I couldn’t take them,they made me feel so tired.So a friend of mine suggested I go to Bereavement Counselling. My first session was last week.I found it so hard to talk about my husband without bursting into tears.I miss him so much. Has anyone been for counselling? and did it help.

Hi,
Sending you a big hug.

I lost my partner 2 and half years ago now and done councilling few months later, it was hard and i cried in every session but felt like it helped in ways.
I feel like i could have more now and might help me understand things a bit more. As his death was so unexpected he was only 36.
Id keep at it thou helps to talk xxx

Thank you, I will give it a go.It’s hard for all of us to cope in this situation.How awful for you being your partner was only 36.Sending a big hug.Take care.xxx
