When my son in law died, my daughter had bereavement therapy. She found it extremely helpful. She did about 6 months. Somehow she said grief therapist knew all the right things to say. I myself am in intense grief right now as my mother passed away last week. My husband thinks I and my brother should seek grief therapist but we dint think we should. Somehow talking to a stranger about our mother feels pointless. Pain is really bad right now and will be bad for awhile. I am not sure how therapy can help
