Hi @Kaz1967,
It’s great to hear that your 1st counselling session went well 
. That sounds really positive & hopefully they can’t help you cope better.
I found Christmas & new year very hard. Mum has been gone 5 months & it’s so hard without her 
There are a lot of colds & flu spreading around this winter

Hi Anna_321
Yes it was very hard Xmas, my mum died 6 months ago and felt strange not taking to her at Xmas.
Have you thought about having the counseling through Sue Ryder it may help you talking about your mum.
Yes I did register for the online counselling but it has an 8-12 week wait time just for the assessment. 
I think I waited about 6 weeks for the assessment, then the counseling started about 2 weeks later. Let me know how you get on.
