Just wanted to send a hug. I haven't responded to your posts before, but I have been following them for some time. I lost my younger brother in the same way you lost your Dad. Although it has been many years, I can so relate to the feelings that you are going through. One group that really helped my parents was Compassionate Friends. They are a grief support group for survivors of violent deaths. They were able to refer us to appropriate counselors & other support needs. I'm glad you and your mom are looking into a church - no religious speech here, but my friends from church are truly a support system and in many ways a family to me. Keep reaching out & keep posting anytime you feel the need. Many of us are glad to listen and truly do care. HUGS!
I care, Tammie. Your father's death was a huge shock to both you and your mother and the insurance stuff isn't helping either.
I would be so troubled if I was in your situation. I'm glad that you have found a counselor you like and respect and that your mother is also getting the help that she needs.
