Dec 21

love my counselor, he's my touchstone. I feel better after we talk. I have been seeing him since 2018, and we meet every 4 to 6 weeks now, started out weekly. I urge you to follow up with that. Talking it out really helps in my experience. I don't know how I would have gotten through the first few years after my daughter was killed without it. I may never have found the courage to end my bad marriage. and so on.

Also, if you are inclined, writing can be helpful.

last but not least: there's a LOT to cry about at this moment in history. you are not alone.
