When Is It Time to Get Help (Grief Counseling)?

Question by lucky: When is it time to get help (grief counseling)? There has been a death in my family. It was someone very close to me in age and we grew up together. It happened about 9 months ago. I am trying my best to get over it, but when anyone asks me about it I get upset and cry still. I try to visit the cemetary when I can, but the shock of it is still there. Some people have told me its time to talk to someone, but I’m not sure. Maybe this is just a normal part of the process? Read more... ...
