@mj0123. Oh my dear mj0123. I cannot pretend to be wise enough to suggest what to do. I simply want to let you know I read your post with tears and heartfelt wishes that you can find comfort. We each are going through so much on different paths, trying our very best to understand and be understood as we experience devastation. I hope someone close can provide support along with action that helps you. Thank you for writing ...as painful as the words are to put to paper, your writing helps us all understand and remember we are not alone. Please take care and watch here for more posts of support.

@mj0123 I can feel your sense of loss in your words. I tell people 'it has been three months. It feels like three seconds...it feels like 300 years.'
Counseling can be helpful if you are ready for it. I have done some one-on-one counseling, but (and this is just me) I found after the first session I was not ready yet for group counseling.
Peace and strength!
Ive been hesitating to start, not sure if im ready. Im sorry for your loss, hopefully i get to the point to do counseling. May you also find peace and strength! One day at a time
I've been seeing a therapist off and on for over a year -- it is good because the time is dedicated to me and the issues I'm facing. I do not have to be concerned about care and feelings of others for a brief while and can simply talk through what is going on, cry if I want and discuss ideas that I"m considering without judgement. She does not try to solve anything, just listens and offer suggestions. I've been to therapists previously and found that I know when it is good to start and when it is time to stop. Trust your judgement and be sure to find someone who understands what you have been through. I too am not a group therapy person... that may be why this forum is so nice. We share but it is not forced sharing -- posts are presented on each person's individual timeline. Take care.
I live in a very small beautiful community so we are limited to therapists. There are a few about an hour away. Hopefully i can find someone, we also have some preacher's that help with counseling. Thank you for the info and for your support. My husband was happy to know that i finally signed on to this 🙂 Have a great evening
