"Listened without judging"

About: Borders Community Services / Wellbeing Service

(as the patient),

My husband died very suddenly and I was having difficulty coping with his death. There were issues in our marriage that were unresolved at the time of his death and unanswered questions about some matters that I discovered after his death. I was unable to stop thinking about these issues and although I have a very supportive family and friends, I did not feel able to discuss my worries with them. I did not wish them to know the details of the matters that were on my mind. I was bottling everything up inside until I felt that I was about to explode. I knew that I needed to speak to someone who would listen without judging and who would allow me to off-load my anxiety.
