There are a couple ways to proceed. I am sorry for your loss. Regarding loss of your loved one, there are local grief support groups. They are typically conducted with 4-6 participants and a professional group leader. They can be very helpful. Depending on where you live you could do a google search for groups. Sometimes hospitals run them. The other way to proceed is with individual therapy to address your loss and help with the anxiety. I do see patients in my practice who have lost loved ones, but do not consider myself an expert grief psychologist. I hope this helps.
