Grief Therapy

Everyone says I need grief therapy because I want to die. I’m not talking about suicide.... I just want to die. I’ve heard of couples where one dies and shortly after the other one dies too.

That’s all I’m talking about.

I’m tired of sobbing every single day.

Of course a dude on here told me I should be ashamed of myself because others are more deserving of help.

I’m not asking.

Okay, I did look into therapy, but you know.... Covid19.

Grief can become all consuming for some of us. There is nothing to be ashamed of, and you certainly are not alone in this.

Therapy can certainly help, I hope you can find the strength to keep searching for help, even virtually.

I've had a bit of grief set back in my own life of late and will also be on that search since I didn't care for my last therapist.

Good luck!

I noticed in another comment you mentioned you don't even know how to choose a therapist and don't want to pick based on a photo.

Many group and private practice practitioners will have bios on their clinic website. Read them. You'll notice some specailize or indicate they have a passion for specific issues [child psych, eating disorders, families, past trauma, or as in your case grief].

Perhaps Google theapists specializing in grief in your area, then contact the clinic/provider or your insurance co to see if they're approved, and ask the clinic/provider if they have video or phone chat options. Many do.
