Counseling Needed
I desperately need couseling but can not afford it. I have tried counseling in the past ,but it did not work ,because I was not ready to deal with my grief and loss issues. I previously went to a Christian Counselor but due to my greif and loss issues I prefer to go to a regular counselor. I am now as ready as I can be to deal with my grief and loss issues but when I made an appointment to receive counseling I was told my health insurance would only pay for he first three sessions which would be a waste of time. My grief and loss issues are extensive and can not be deal with in 3 sessions. Do you know of any counseling center that offer free or very discounted counseling from very qualified counselors? It is apparent that I can not keep living this way with these current issues. I am just existing and not living life. I am not suicidal but realize that I need to improve the quality of my life. I have loss the two people closest to me in the world. Any advice is appreciated.
I am so sorry you are going through. I am not sure of any local organization but I just thought I shared my story with you.
This summer I gave birth to my son Cooper, he was born with a heart condition called HLHS, well on July 23rd he returned to heaven he was only 7 wks old. During this time he was at Children's Hosptial and by the time we left we owed 3 million dollars. I too needed to go counseling but I could not afford after recieving this bill. After talking to a co-worker of mine he found a friend that donated 18 sessions of counseling for me. My husband and I also attend Grief Support Groups for those who have lost infants. I must tell you finding a support group that targets your specific type of grief changed everything for me. I am now actually doing okay instead of terrible so I just wanted to put it out there that you might want to try a support group, there free and it is nice to talk to people who are "like you".
Stay strong and we are all here for you!

Hi Lynn,
My family and I are experiencing the loss of 7 immediate and family friends back to back. I attended my brothers wedding followed by my mothers death the following week, her brother in laws the following week, my ex fiance's father, the following week, a family friends two months later, my mothers best friend who attended her funeral died five months after my mother, lost my job and the man I thought I would spend the rest of my life with needed his space during the worst time in my life. Death was hanging out in my house, in my life and with my friends.
There is no amount of money that I can pay that will take this pain away. My sister who is a Doctor paid thousands for counseling and still cry's when you look at her, so my advise is save your money and share your pain with people who are going through what you are going through. This website is just wonderful and I'm actually starting to feel much better and I can write anytime and find a kind, comforting word from someone who has also had a great loss.
I'm so very sorry for your losses, it's a pain that will only take time to heal, but we have to experience every bit of it in order to heal. I'm finding out that there is no way out of this one. Only time will heal us.
We are all here for you at anytime.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
