I’d like to thank…

My counsellor, Thank you for everything. I lost my mum in tragic circumstances over 20 years ago and am still grieving her loss. You helped me process it and now, finally, after all these years, I have begun to heal. You gave me valuable insights into what happened and how this experience has shaped the person I am today. You helped me understand the situation at a deeper level to give me clarity.

You listened and spent time trying to understand my whole experience – my sadness and my loss and, for that,

I will always be grateful. You made me feel valued. My experience has been difficult and you helped me acknowledge that it has been extremely hard and anyone in my place would have felt the same. Gently, you guided me towards accepting the loss of my mum, and that I can’t change the past and need to move on.

Although my beloved mum will never come back, the experience has strengthened me and built my resilience.

Thank you for coming into my life. Although brief, it has made a positive difference. I’m OK now and I know I will carry this wisdom and courage with me for the rest of my life.
