Hi James ~ Bless your heart, you've had a lot of loss in a short length of time, and I'm so very sorry.

Since your Dad left you a trust, could you possibly use some of that money to go to a therapist? Is there any of that left? You really need to see a professional if possible. Perhaps if you checked with your local Social Services to see what kind of services they have in their Mental health dept., they may have a psychologist on staff who could see you based on ability to pay. Some counties have these, and it's great. Check with them and see what they say. Perhaps they can recommend something else if they don't have one.

It is important that you talk to someone. How about a grief counselor from Hospice? I've talked with them and they were great. I don't know what their fees are, but they aren't like a psychologist, that's for sure!!! Their services are wonderful tho, and they actually followed up with me for a full year! So give them a call and make sure you tell them you want a one-on-one counselor; you don't want to be in a group.

I wish you the very best James. I hope and pray you end up talking with someone -- and that you let us know what happens. God bless and please take care of YOU. We DO care!!! Big hugs, Lee
