Hi Dick, don't give up on a grief counselor.  You have to find one you can connect with.  I was fortunate enough to find one that has helped me.  For the first 3 months or so, I was seeing her 1x a week.  Now I see her 2x a month.  She listens with no judgement and has given me many good advice.  For example, in one of my sessions where I was crying and telling her some things I felt so guilty about when Sam was growing up, she told me to not look at it as guilt but regrets.  This helped me when sometimes I relived the past and feel like I could have done more for my son.  She helped me look at each situation from a different view point.  Each grief counselor is different and works differently.  You just have to find one you feel comfortable with.   I hope you find some peace.  Hugs to you all.

I think a lot of my stress is my legacy will not carrying on. I hope my only son will have children soon. I think that would relieve some of my stress.

My mother wants me to go to a grief counselor. I have already been to one and it was no help. I don't want drugs either, I gave up drinking. Because, when I come down or sober up; my son is still gone. So I just want to meet his grief head on and deal with it. My grief is very much guilt driven, i know that much. I don't need someone to tell me and then have a grief counselor tell me its not. Not helpful.

Hey Adrianne, I probably would not not be able to visit as often as I do if it was so far away. I know that some people never want to return there again. I still read my son's name on his monument in total disbelief.

Many hugs!

Hey Dick, I hope you begin to feel physically ok soon. Grief can be very harmful to our health, I am paying the price right now.

Many hugs to you.

I feel like a Mack truck ran over me today, sick.

I am really sick, I just thought it was in my head. Apparently, grief does a number on your immune system.

My heart aches for all of who have lost one of our very special loves, be it a son or a daughter. This past week I have cried so many tears, I couldn't figure out why it was hitting me so hard again. Then silly me, I realized Valentines Day (I always get all my kids candy on Valentines Day), my granddaughters 6 birthday is on the 15th (she loved her Uncle Zach) and my oldest daughter's birthday is on the 18th. All of these special days, Zach would have been there, smiling from ear to ear. Sneaking eating his girlfriend's candy, even though I would have bought him the same thing. How I wish I could turn back the clock, give my beautiful son a big hug and kiss, tell him how much I love him and am proud of him. I'm so very sorry for all us Moms and Dads on hear whose hearts are breaking. Big hugs. Robin
