Just in case anyone is reading this someday who is considering grief therapy/counseling. I really like going. My counselor has a really similar personality to mine, and I feel so comfortable with her. I am able to just vent and cry and explore certain emotions that I don't feel comfortable talking about with people that I know. I have certain friends and family that are always around to let me talk, but having an outside, trained perspective has been so helpful.
Also, just hearing that I am moving through the grief process normally is comforting. Even in grief, I love some positive feedback! But honestly, I am so glad that I sought out some professional help. Even though I don't necessarily feel like I need grief counseling (I am functioning, working through the process, not taking medication, not thinking about hurting myself, etc), I want to keep going.
So glad you are enjoying therapy! I know how much it helps me, too. Hearing someone else say what we are feeling and experiencing is liberating!
