This is a really interesting example. Seems like it could be used a model of what helps -- competent therapist PLUS real-world relationship(s).
I'm widowed and was so discouraged/depressed with other things in life that I didn't go back to work after my husband died, then had major family issues with the health of my parents. So I'm pretty alone.
You are a teacher, correct? I wonder -- do you think there might be a role for a teacher in helping people with these issues? Could be done in a group setting, which could provide some social support and relationships of a sort. Just speculating. . .what's being done now has not helped me much and I don't believe that I'm the only one in a similar situation.
