Thank you Deebee and everyone! I had a good session with an excellent therapist last week, a woman in her thirties named Renee who's obviously got a lot of experience working with people suffering from grief and trauma. And with people like me who have turned to substance abuse. I have also now participated in several group sessions and, although I find it rather overwhelming, the people there (nine of us, a mix of men and women, most with alcoholic problems, some with drugs and one with gambling) are very kind and supportive. Grief is a subject that comes up again and again in people's discussions. Everyone there has lost a loved one, some under very troubled circumstances. I feel less alone with this group as I have continue to feel less alone and very much loved here at Webhealing!
Love from Helene.
