My beautiful Mom transitioned this past August. I miss her every single day. It's painful, actually, and I know only a couple of months have passed, but time is not healing. Every day without her is painful.

As her only child and primary beneficiary, I have access to free grief counseling via her health insurance policy. Should I do it? Those of you who have received or are receiving grief counseling, what have been some pros and cons? What has been helpful and not-so-helpful?
