I went to see the post traumatic stress counsellor today and she says that she believes that I am still in shock and suffering acutely from grief. She has spoken to a psychiatrist today as my GP wasn't in and they have decided to do something with my meds - not sure what she says I need to make an appointment with the doctor. She feels that I need to rest a lot more than I do, I do sleep when numbed through alcohol but otherwise I just have nightmares.
She is also liaising with my bereavement counsellor so that I see them on alternative weeks. She was also going to try and chase my complaint with the hospital and may be able to attend some meetings with me.

Thats sounds very positive, it was an PTSD therapist that got the ball rolling in my recovery.
Try and deal with the booze, with them in support too.
I'm really pleased for you tinks. This is a really positive step for you, you deserve the absolute best support you can get. Just remember that alcohol is a depressant and will make you feel even more depressed, although I know when you're so full of grief you just want to numb everything. I hope you continue to get good support and we're all here for you *hugs* xxx
