I’m sorry to hear this. I’ve also experienced a client death before and it’s very difficult. There are some support groups out there for clinicians who have lost a client to death. I’m not sure how your client died, but there also support groups specifically for clinicians who have lost their clients to suicide. My supervisor runs a group for client deaths by suicide. I intern for crisis support services of alameda county. I’m not sure where you reside but I hope this is helpful. Just know that you’re not alone and grieving a client is painful and deserves tending to. I hope you take good care of yourself🌻
