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.

  • Hiya,

    The support you had sounds terrible. It sounds like you find that type of one to one situation a bit difficult in that you freeze. I often freeze in certain situations. Perhaps, art therapy may be better for you? You won't be judged, The focus isn't directly on you, so easier for your aspergers. And the therapist is likely to be more sympathetic and less expectant and brainy on you. Remember if you do come across an unprofessional/judgmental therapist/councellor, you are entitled to complain.

    kind regards,
