Hi All,
Just after some advice,20 years ago I lost 3 immediate family members in a year and my mother when I was 19. Then my brother a few years back. Somehow I recovered but still can't get close to people and don't know how to overcome it. I'm seeking a counselor only now as I haven't been able to talk about it. I'm just wondering if any of you have found counseling helpful. I do have concerns it will trigger past grief. Also if anyone has had similar difficulty getting close to people and if you found a way to over come it. Thanks for listening
I began to feel that way after I had lost a few friends and family members. It's like they dropped like birds that used to fly in the sky, you know? I lost my exercise instructor, a few years after that I lost a lady I knew in church, she used to have really beautiful hair until she had to cut due to cancer. Another lady I who was a friend had died months before this lady due to cancer. I lost my dad because of cancer. I know that I have to keep on going and not give up but it is so hard because you'll get to the point of thinking that everyone you come in contact with is dying or really sick.
