Discovering the bereavement counselor will still be available to talk or meet with me anytime I feel I need to beyond the year mark of my mom's passing, still at no cost.
I had thought it was only offered for a year then no longer available, but she told me today that there's no limit or time frame attached, I just won't receive official mailings or phone calls anymore.
She's been a huge help in getting me through the process of advocating for improved care and communications in hopes that others won't have to suffer the same fate mom did.
Grateful for her listening, offering feedback, compassionate assurance, and helping to keep my spirits up during some of the heaviest days.
It's hard to grasp the fact that we're 18 days shy of it being a year since mom's physical presence left us. It still feels raw.
