One of my counselors suggested I sign up for this daily email. Some days it was spot on, some days it wasn't. But it was something to help me cope. I'm hoping it'll help your friend. She's blessed to have you care for her and try and get her help. GriefShare - Grief Recovery Support Groups - GriefShare |

I’m sorry you’re not getting the answers you’re looking for. I can’t imagine going to grief counseling. My friend just went after she lost a family member and ran out in tears vowing never to return. I would suggest finding a psychiatrist in the area as opposed to trying for a recommendation. Good luck.

I agree that it should have been a simple question (sorry OP). Once again, the old saying comes true - "No good deed goes unpunished."

She should be talking to her primary doctor for the information you are seeking. She will be directed to the proper person to help with her problem. She should not just choose a psychiatrist at random. I urge you to encourage her to talk to per primary doctor.

If the situation did not appear so serious I likely would have laughed heartily at many of the responses, the unsubstantiated diagnoses, the wide spectrum of off the wall opinions, blah, blah, blah.
What the OP is seeking is a referral to a psychiatrist (an MD, not a PhD psychologist or MA counselor, or group therapy, informal or formal) who could conduct a medical evaluation and recommend, direct or proceed with some form of treatment to help get her friend through her grieving process and hopefully back to functioning and living her life as best she can. One would think Central Florida would be replete with psychiatrists as well as other mental health professionals of every stripe who have extensive experience dealing with issues the elderly face such as the deaths of long term spouses.

Your highlighted response is a bit insulting and inappropriate to those who are honestly trying to help. And so, what help has your post offered?? Maybe you've been too busy counting and criticizing the "Off the wall opinions"? blah, blah, blah |
