Most health insurance offers counseling services. A counselor can be very beneficial as an outsider who will listen and help guide you through your grief. A word of note though, if you are uncomfortable with your counselor, but still need to talk, request a different counselor. Sometimes you just might not feel as comfortable with one counselor as another. Don't be afraid or ashamed to ask to see someone else.
Counselors are professionals.
They understand this. This is a great recommendation from Amanda, daughter of Mary and Mike . First I listen to songs that I know will bring on the tears so I can cry. Then just plan old silly, happy songs. I always feel better when its over.
