They should provide bereavement support, and if you specifically tell them you find support groups to be stressful, anxiety-provoking, and not helpful, they may be able to give you one on one assistance. If nothing else, they should have ideas about resources you might not know about. Best wishes. Be kind to yourself. -a hospice nursegirl_in_greenwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00337410012641477994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062777672434332413.post-1676978019670758782012-10-31T20:32:36.032-07:002012-10-31T20:32:36.032-07:00I just want to send this your way.

Even if you are uncomfortable in a group setting, maybe you could reach out to one of the active members and see if they can share some resources with you.

I am down in Tucson, and if you ever need anything, I would do anything I could to take some of your suffering away. You're never alone, and I hope that is being made clear to you daily by your friends and family.<br />Love and prayers.<br />Kirstin CarnageKirstin Carnagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00126154864514048923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062777672434332413.post-82796589276979776102012-10-30T15:53:29.240-07:002012-10-30T15:53:29.240-07:00You also might try a large church, I know the one ...You also might try a large church, I know the one I attend has several counselors and does not charge or charges like 5 to 10 dollars.<br /><br />I know that even if you don't attend the church ours will help you out so it might be worth a try.<br /><br />God bless you and know that another nerdy girl in Texas is praying for you.AfterGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09190721515361373787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062777672434332413.post-57184352666126354472012-10-30T15:17:14.683-07:002012-10-30T15:17:14.683-07:00Tashi -- Call your hospice people -- I know the pr...Tashi -- Call your hospice people -- I know the program here where I live had a 1 year support group for people who had lost some one.

Anything more specific and you have to be screened into them first, which happens after they assign a therapist, which could be 2013 for me. <br /><br />Also, I've mentioned in the past, I do not feel comfortable in group therapy. <br />I did the Brain Tumor Support Group for Wash and it nearly broke me every month. <br />It hurts in ways I will hurt to avoid, to go and see other families with children. Other families with grandchildren. Other families with jobs, with homes, with a "better" prognosis... I can't be comfortable in a group when I'm mourning everything they have that I cannot and never will.<br /><br />It's why I've put myself away. <br />Right now, other people being happy with even the smallest bits of their lives make me feel like SHIT, because I'm so depressed, I cannot see anything good of my own. scotvixenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934172691552719646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062777672434332413.post-61781950208508532682012-10-30T10:21:41.448-07:002012-10-30T10:21:41.448-07:00You are of course correct that our health care sy...You are of course correct that our health care system is shameful. Perhaps there is some sort of support group you can go while you wait the 2-3 months ? Some people are helped by hearing and talking with other people in a group. Might even be better than what minimal care you get from the gov't plans. 5494271https://www.blogger.com/profile/04126511919435285750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062777672434332413.post-55959999710006516482012-10-30T00:31:28.955-07:002012-10-30T00:31:28.955-07:00I've been lurking for a while now.

I've been too shy to say anything, even over the internet, but if it helps even the slightest bit: know that a stranger in California - some nerdy girl who shares your geeky interests - reads your messages and cares, and aches for you and hopes that someday you will feel better again. I check your blog every day to see how you're doing.

Being on the other side of the world, I have no real concept of the US health system (other than through your struggles) but I hope you can see someone and get the help you need. You are stronger than you realise and asking for help is good. <br /><br />We are all sending you strength!Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09532993736002840005noreply@blogger.com
