Share review of St Helena Hospice
I didn't know what to expect from bereavement counselling but I found the sessions incredibly useful and thought provoking. I told my counsellor that I don't think the sessions revealed anything I perhaps didn't already know but they certainly affirmed a few things and helped me work through some of the trauma of my partner's death, why I felt like I did and still do. We also had some useful discussion about strategies to support my grief, how I want to remember Nick on his "death day" and why I feel triggered by certain events, objects.
I had heard good things about the bereavement service offered by the Hospice, which is why I referred myself and I feel so pleased that I did it. There is still a long road ahead but I feel a positive difference after the sessions although I now accept that feeling rubbish, angry, resentful or just ok is totally fine to. I guess it has given me confidence to grieve. Thank you
