It is important not to get stuck in therapy.  Therapy is a necessary boat that takes you across a rough river to a new shore.  In time, though, you must step out of the boat and onto new earth and never look back.

Support groups work the same way. Sometimes, people will talk to me about whether or not they need a support group.  Often, they are a year past the loss and feel as though they "are doing well enough, but have
little things that come up". This is often quickly followed by a statement about having attended this group or that group and hearing people talk about struggling with their grief for 5, 10 or more years! These people rightly assess "I don't want to be that person-that doesn't seem good to me.".  Sometimes, they may wonder if they should feel worse or experience guilt because they aren't suffering in their grief years after the death. This can be the difference between resilience and complicated grief.  Sometimes grief might require getting in a bigger boat-a therapy boat. Big or small, though, at some point, getting off the boat will be important if you want to go or see something different.
