It could have been better and meant much more.

My late wife suffered a dibilitating illness over a 2-3 year period. In the last 12 months of her life we received some help via Palliative Care, but we had to work hard to get it. When we finally did, the care was excellent and we were very grateful. After my wife passed away I was offered some councilling for my grief, but unfortunatley this amounted to one session only. I appreciated this very much at a very difficult time. Even though I was offered more, nothing ever eventuated and I was left to my own devices. I certainly could have used some councilling at the time. I felt abandoned and forgotten. In time I moved on, no thanks to any palliative care follow up.
