Question Posted Tuesday September 22 2009, 4:50 pm
I go to a mental health counsling center every day from monday throgh Friday and I get up and go all day long and stay at that center until 2:00 and one of the counslers their died and i've only been going there for about 4 months now so I didn't really know her all that well but it's really hard on the other clients that are there how can I help them deal with there loss and feel better during this time of pain?
As a friend, some key things to being there for somebody is to be a good listener if someone wants to talk about it. Lend an ear and a shoulder to cry on. If they are having a really hard time then tell them to speak one-on-one with a counselor to help them understand and sort through their grief. Good luck.

I'm sure the other counselors will do a good job of helping deal with the grief and other feelings. It may be a good idea for you to ask this question to one of them. They will be your very best source of a good answer. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
