I have lost my sister, uncle and mum in the last 6 months and finding it difficult. My mum and uncle were older but my sister passed relatively young and it seems so unjust. Then I feel bad for thinking that as my mum and uncle are just as important. I have signed up for counselling but still on the list. Is it worth doing? Has anyone found it useful and what does it actually involve as not something I have done before? Thank you

Hello @LadyJa,
I can see you’re new to the community. I hope you find it to be a support, but I’m so sorry for the losses that bring you here.
Hopefully someone will be along to share their thoughts. I’ve done a search for conversations about counselling. Here’s a list of previous topics, which might be helpful to read to learn more about other members’ experiences.
Take good care and keep reaching out,

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my parents within 3 months of eachother, both young, to cancer in 2023. I had counselling 9 months after and initially it worked for what I wanted out of it (to push out bad memories) but now 2 years on, I need help in other ways e.g. how to cope with missing them etc. Grief counselling doesnt last forever so I would suggest ongoing counselling for however long you need it. I am going to do this as the 6 sessions I had certainly helped. Thinking of you and here to chat. K
