Hi everyone. I lost my mom, oldest brother, and my dad all in a few months' time last year. My mom passed away in February, my brother in July, and my dad two weeks after that. Some days it doesn't even seem real, even now! I can't believe it has been a year already--I am doing better, but every now and then grief will sneak up on me. I do very well with giving in to it and letting it flow--I don't hold it in. I also have siblings, a spouse, and kids who have helped me through. (Unfortunately I've developed a couple of health problems in the aftermath that I'm now dealing with, although with medication they are mostly under control now.)
I haven't attended any grief couseling or groups yet. A local church is starting one soon--those of you that have joined groups, did you find them helpful? Thanks for any thoughts you can provide.
