I understand it’s disability type employment service. Those are the ones I was referring to as well.

Over the years you’ve been provided with many social workers and therapists through this employment agency. You didn’t like most of them but it’s impressive they provide you with one. I think it’s more than any vocational rehabilitation will do regardless of a client’s disability. They sure won’t do it here for years, they eventually expect you to be employed.

Of course it would be nice if a social worker discussed other things with you and it’s ok to share with her but clearly it’s not why she is there. Also honestly they aren’t going to provide counseling for grief. I lost many family members over the years. I took bereavement leave and then had to resume my duties. Sometimes people take extended medical leave due to grief. It’s understandable one struggles with grief but employers and employment agencies aren’t going to counsel you on grief.

I don’t think you need to make it easier on anyone but maybe you expect something from this agency that they can’t provide.they are likely government funded and government expects people eventually to get of assistance and work if they can. Government isn’t going to fund conversation about feelings. That’s just not how it works
