I saw her for six sessions and she really helped me sort things out. Bereavement is a different situation than depression.
You might ask your therapist or doctor if they can refer you to a specialist for this. It's not meant to be a long term commitment. The program I attended was free, one to one counseling. You might also call your local or county hospital and speak with a social worker who can make a referral for you.
Do keep us posted on your progress. I'm so happy to hear about your sober time!

Thanks again Lenina, I will try calling the local hospitals to see if they have any programs like that here....sounds like it really helped you, and I know I need some help.
