Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.I'm sorry to hear about your loss and I understand that you must be going through a very difficult time. From the description of your symptoms it is likely that you are suffering from a prolonged grief reaction.It is good that you have opted to go for counselling. Like you have mentioned it is a useful thing to talk about your feelings and vent out your emotions, especially when you are going through ongoing stressors. One suggestion is to maintain a 'cognitive diary' where you regularly record your thoughts and feelings. You can then reflect upon them or discuss about them to your therapist.Wish you all the best.Regards,Dr. Jonas SundarakumarConsultant Psychiatrist
