Kelly,

I am so sorry for your loss. Please don't listen to the people who are telling you to just get on with your life. You need to grieve for as long as is necessary and you definitely need to feel a sense of closure.

I think it is wise of you to get counseling or at least take part in a support group. I would suggest you call the hospitals and hospice organizations in your area. There are several in our area and they all have support groups for grieving. Tha American Cancer Society should also have a list of support groups in your area. Also check to see if your county has a Human Services department. They should know what is available. Take care of yourself.

Rainbows & hugs, wink
Rosie
