I think it is the right thing to do to call your counselor.

Do your best to set up a support network. I understand that you must be supportive but you shouldn't have to be "the strong one" 24 hours a day... you need to have some time when you can grieve too. Maybe your counselor will be able to set up extra sessions or may have some suggestions.

Be sure to post here as much as you need to because we are part of your support network too, you can "be yourself" here and not have any expectations or pressure put on you.
