I was wondering if anyone else here has had bereavement counselling and found it helpful.

I have had counselling previously for other issues and found it helpful. Recently I have had some bereavement counselling, but found I just do not know what to say. I thought it would be more helpful. Did anyone else here find it good to talk about their loss?

I had some, and i can't say it made much difference to how i felt, and still, to this day feel.
Of course, i want my loved one back, and all the talking in the world won't change that, in my case.

That's just my take on it, though.

It all depends on the counsellor some are better than others, it’s not necessarily going to make you feel better, but hopefully it may put things into perspective and show you a way forward to continue living, albeit very differently
Grieving won’t go away by talking about it, but it’s much healthier than keeping it all bottled up inside.

I'm with BlueBelle. I have had bereavement counselling, I don't think anything is ever going to make you feel better but it did give me an outlet to talk which in itself was a bit of a release.
