Maybe there is where/why the OP did not feel helped by a therapist. Looking at defenses and inconsistencies and getting some "grief support" are entirely different. So, maybe a therapist truly should have redirected the OP toward someone who could empathize and would *not* have been a third-party intrusion or privacy breach in a session.
