    Bereavement counselling

    This is something that I’m thinking about, and my physio offered to put me in touch with counsellors he knows. It’s not something I’ve ever had to consider before as I haven’t lost anyone close before. Is it helpful? Is it worth doing? Has anyone else thought about it recently?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    It actually came up in conversation yesterday, a friend suggested it and something that I am thinking about. I don’t understand why but Suzi’s passing has hit me harder than losing my parents and my brother. I think I need to try and make sense of it cos it is tearing me apart.

    It's worth looking into although I know some charities wont do bereavement counselling until a certain length of time after the death

    Our church offers some counseling. But as SM says, I think a certain length of time has to pass before they offer it.

    If Suzi were here I'm pretty sure she would recommend you contacting Cruse if you are struggling.
