Please don't misunderstand this post. I'm looking for comments. I hope I don't sound foolish. Please believe me I'm a rational intelligent person. I lost my husband just 2 yrs. ago. I was with him when he died. It was not a pleasant thing. I believe the memory of that day has compounded my grief. I can't get it out of my mind. I've been depressed. Not severely I have no desire to kill myself. Yes I know counseling medication etc. and I am thinking of going to a therapist. My daughter said at her workplace several people have seen a psychic. Not only because she's a psychic because she's helped them with their depression. She gives people direction. 2 people I know have gone to her. they've been helped. One said she asked about her sister who had died a year before. she told her something no living person could have known. except she and her sister, something extremely personal something in their home life they've never revealed to anyone it was so bad. She is going back to her. She only schedules appts. 2 or 3 times a year. I would like to hear thoughts on this. Again I'm not strange I ' m just looking into all things. Am I being crazy?

I posted to you in the depression support forum. I think you should see a therapist before you see a psychic. I met a psychic this winter and she was fake. I didn't see her personally but was at a house warming. I thought she was there to bless the house. I am just saying you are vulnerable right now and I think going to a therapist or grief counselor would be more helpful to you.

Just my thoughts...

Hugs, Karen...

Hi

I agree with getting by that you should go and see a grief therapist before you see a psychic and i'm sorry to hear of your loss of your husband.

Personally I don't believe in psychics but if it's something you think will help then i'm all for it as you have to do what's best for you.

Hi crewsie,

I'm sorry to hear about the death of your husband. I've lost lovers and many important people in my life. I have no opinion about seeing a psychic. But wanting to talk to your husband in some way, that I understand.

I wonder if you know that many churches and other organizations have grief support groups. I have been to some and they help tremendously. This model of help is called peer support. You get to be in a room with others that are dealing with grief. It helps so much to know you're not alone.

Please keep posting, I find it helps a lot. I deal with anxiety and depression and have ALWAYS gotten support here, for about 5-10 years now!
