With regards to item # 2. Supposed you witnessed an aircrash into Pearl Harbor that killed 11 of your close friends. Then you ID'd them in the morgue. Then you spent a week burying them. Should that depresses you? And if so, what next?

No, you send in grief counselors and that's supposed to take care of it. I've always wondered what grief counselors tell the grieving that takes away their grief and what justifies the expense.

I've always wondered what grief counselors tell the grieving that takes away their grief and what justifies the expense.

Grief counselors are much more about listening than telling. Counseling doesn't take away your grief. It gives you a place to discuss the event and your feelings, worries and fears over and over and over and over until you're feeling more in control.

My friends and relations love me. They loved my son. But no one wants to hear about grieving as frequently as I need to talk about it.
