bereavement counselling - did it help

[Mexican cuties]

hi its been a hell of a last year. lost my FIL suddenly last august, my mum suddenly last September and my dad this January. with various anniversaries coming up its very clear that I am managing but not very well, where or who do you start with that, has any one had success in moving forward.

many thanks

thank you for your replies, am looking into various options, but feel a bit better that I have realised its not bad to feel this way, and that it will get better eventually

thank you, we scattered my parents ashes at the weekend and laid some flowers at the church where they got married 56 years ago this Saturday on mums birthday, so made me feel like we had done something good,

MIL is still having the odd episode at the home but after a meeting with the doctor, he has said not to panic when it happens, as long as she is not having breathing issues, or is longer being out for 10 mins. on the plus side to see my MIL so happy when she was out of hospital and returned to the home. the "inmates" and staff were so happy to see her back, and she now has a chap she sits and watches telly with and holds his hand.

so we will make sure we have as many memories with her while she still knows who we are.

and looking into a counsellor that I feel happy with. husband has been great, but there is only so much he can do. so thank you for all your replies and sharing what you have been through. one thing is for sure, life is too short to waste.
