bereavement

Marjorie195

Our daughter took her own life 5 years ago, after a long depressive illness. Mostly, I have learned to live with it. But, I hate January.

Memories, like little bolts of lightening, have been striking. 

We have just had the best christmas for many years, with our son and new daughter in law. I was happy for while.

But it was not like christmas was years ago, the four of us happy together.

Our brand new beautiful christmas bauble was shattered, as though we had dropped it when we took down the tree.

  • My condolences Hun,

    Facing such Loss is difficult on your own and my heart goes out to you.

    I was much like yourself until I found a different type of counsellor. It's a matter of finding one that best suits you, if you decide to go down that route.

    Initially, I was highly scepticle. Indeed, I didn't even realize their were different types of Counselling available. Very naive of me really. All I knew was that the type I had, years prior, hadn't worked for me. I must say I'm glad I continued to try though. A good cousellor is worth thier weight in Gold. What you describe does sound very unprofessional.

    In speaking with others on the spectrum, it seems those with ASD hold onto grief and find it very difficult to go through the 5 stages most experience. Some support, even years later, can help you address any unaddressed emotions surrounding such trauma.

    I always think planting something in their memory is a great comfort too.

    Take Care
