Hi I'm now into 11 months without my soul mate. I contacted local hospice regarding councilling as I just wanted to know if what I say or think or do is normal. Just wondered if anyone on here has had councilling and if it helps. I said nobody can help my heart as something I have to deal with but can they say anything that will make me feel anything differently.
Hi Heartbreak,
For me counselling worked, but it doesn't work for everyone. I found it a safe space to talk honestly about that night and what happened. I made her cry, which made me feel bad, I just told her my story I didn't do it on purpose. It finished natural after about 10 weeks, but I have been told I might need to go back due to ptsd. If you think you need it give it a go. It is not a magic bullet, but it might help.
