My wife of 45 years passed in September 2022. As you can imagine, I was a complete mess trying to manage the funeral preparations, meeting family and friends, attending the interment — it was overwhelming. A friend told me about BetterHelp and I saw a TV commercial about it. I figured, "Give it a try. You can always cancel."
Five months later, and I am actually managing my grief; it is NOT managing me. That is all thanks to my BetterHelp therapist. She listens carefully, and she creates an environment of safety and inclusion. She appropriately challenges me, always respectfully. The best part is her "homework" ideas — she always gives me something to work on during the week. I've made some great process with her so far.
Pros and Cons:
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
