Grief Years Later

Continued

Another thing you might try is finding support on the beyondindigo.com message boards.There are others out there who may have other suggestions or thoughts on how to help you cope during this stressful time. Sometimes just having someone out there who understands and sympathizes with your pain can be a wonderful relief.

Beyondindigo.com also has live chats where you can come in and chat in real time with others who are struggling with grief issues. If you email deb@death-dying.com, she will be happy to email you a listing of chat times and dates.

Please remember that I am not a mental health professional, so these suggestions are just ideas that I have, and have helped me cope with overwhelming times in my life. Please, if you find yourself overwhelmed to the point of being unable to cope, or have thoughts of harming yourself or others, please seek some professional mental health care immediately. Please let me know if I can assist you further or answer any other questions you may have. Again, my sincerest condolences on your losses during this busy holiday time.

Sincerely,

Kathy
