Counselor: Grief is not predictable. We think we're getting past it even and then something triggers a wave of pain that completely overwhelms us.
Davia: I know that you told him that we shouldn't get involved, that he can't trust his feelings. So maybe he confused needing me with wanting me. Maybe that's what he realized in the morning and that's why he freaked out. I guess this is my fault.
Counselor: Davia, you can't fix Dennis. This is no one's fault. And I encourage you to be as kind and empathetic to yourself as you are to Dennis.
