Hi Letty
I lost my daughter at 33 and I’ve never ever experienced so much pain over small things like songs on the radio etc
I had counselling on Friday just gone and I don’t no what I expected but it’s most definitely not for me,
I spoke a lot and of course blubbered alot but I didn’t feel any connection she was a lovely girl I’d never knock her by talking to her boss, but she was a lot on her phone
My next concern is how I tell her 
Amanda 72, I never did go for counselling. I couldn’t face talking to someone I didn’t know. I talk continuously to my husband and he talks to me. I don’t ever want to not talk about my son. He is so precious to us.
My son’s partner does go to counselling and has had to change counsellors a couple of times before they felt the right connection. So don’t be afraid to move to another one. You’ve got to learn to be selfish and do what’s right for you.
Sending you lots of hugs xxx

That does not sound right. Why is she on her phone! It made me feel so angry reading this. I would have found it very disrespectful. Please don’t feel bad about requesting a different counsellor. I have just started counselling and for me there is a connection. I feel able to talk and I cry, which is what I need as my grief is locked away during every day living. She is able to reflect back to me what I cannot put in words, which helps me validate my feelings. You owe it to yourself to have a counsellor who gives you their full attention.

Hi 
I’ve gotten hold of the councillor and I’ve cancelled all meetings I just said I don’t think it’s for me ( which is kinda true) I didn’t want to say that I don’t think she’s the right person I could talk too as I’m sure there’s people that find her good being on her phone bothered me she was also over 45 minutes late with no explanation which my husband wasn’t happy with.
Thank you to you all who’s written back to me,

So sorry for your loss. That’s shocking about the counsellor, she should not have been using her phone during the consultation. I think I would have got up and left the session as I’m not very rational just now. Perhaps you could try someone else.

I am five weeks in and it exceptioally quick and traumatic in as l was the one he trusted for the journey. Very complicated since l am married and have to hide my grief. I cannot do the usual stuff as his daughter shut me down after he died. So any recommendations for counselling would be appreciated
