After my mum died and Bereavement counselling was suggested, I poo-pooed the idea. I knew I just needed to go through the bereavement process like everyone else has to. But when the panic attacks started to rule my life I decided to give the counselling a try.

It had haunted me that when my mum's heart attack started she was phoning me..........and I wasn't available. By the time my aunt tracked me down it was too late.

But after a year of weekly sessions with a counsellor I saw how the therapist said very little, whilst I was doing all the talking, and v-e-r-y gradually analysing the issue to the point where I no longer felt the dreadful guilt.

No one else had the power to 'absolve' me ; the words of forgiveness and reason had to come from my own mouth.

Does this make any sense to you Eddie ? ..........and I wonder whether you've tried counselling to help with coming to terms with the loss of your dear mum ? Cat xx
