    Does anyone know if a good bereavement counsellor in Dublin?
    A friend needs so much help but has started to close up.

    Also does anyone have suggests on how to get them to go.

    Anger is an issue so I need to tread softly as I can't risk losing them.

    Any help is greatly appreciated

    The Bereavement Counselling Service (BCS) is a voluntary organisation which provides support and counselling for persons who have been bereaved. This service is available at various centres citywide on a donation basis. Voluntary receptionists are being sought to provide a reception service at St Ann's, Dawson St. The centre is normally open for appointments on Monday & Wednesday 6-9pm.

    If you have an hour or two to spare, the BCS would like to hear from you. You can contact the BCS for an application form by email at bereavement@eircom.net or tel 839 1766. The postal address is Dublin St Baldoyle, Dublin 13.

    Thanks for that.
    Did your boyf want to go himself or did anyone suggest it?
    I feel it would really help but I don't want to overstep my mark!

    He knew himself he should go to try and deal with it, he was afraid that a year or so down the line he would have a melt down if he didnt and he was afraid of that happening. I had a little word in his best mates ear and he suggested it to him because his best mate had lost his dad a few years ago aswell so i suppose coming from him it was better cos he knew what he was talking about ye know.
