Hi @knightkris and happy new year! I've been thinking about you. As I recall you posted at the end of the year that you would be doing some counseling with the PD Society of BC Canada. Has that been helpful to you? Let us know if you have been able to find a support group to help you through this time of loss. We care! Teresa

I, too, send you kind thoughts regarding the loss of your mother. I invite you to join the Caregivers group on Connect. In particular, I think you might be interested in sharing in this discussion

Furthermore, many hospices, including those in British Columbia, offer free support groups for grief and grief counseling. They are available even if you did not use the hospice service with your mom. You can find out more about grief counselling from Canadian Virtual Hospice http://www.virtualhospice.ca/ Let me know if I can help you find a local hospice. I used to work in this area.
