Thank you for this, Micky. I felt I suffered largely alone after estrangement by a beloved son. There's a grief that can't be spoken. I spoke it anyway and found deep sympathy and, thus strength from unexpected people. Yet my therapist, sought for that purpose, soon got bored and wondered if we couldn't talk about something else. She wanted me to get over it.

I'm sorry to hear about such an insensitive therapist but I'm so happy this post resonated with you. It's fascinating and comforting to realize that once you talk about grief, so many others are ready to join the conversation. Wishing you peace...
