I have had both, I personally did not find the bereavement counselling that helpful, but it may have been too soon for you, it was for me, the second Christmas without Mum, she died in August 2017 first Christmas a blur, this one really really hard, so alone, anyway, after bereavement counselling I tried two others, just normal counselling, finally this one clicked she was able to help me deal with the PTSD that was part of mine, BUT nothing can stop grieving, and nor should it, I miss Mum and Dad every second of the of day, 18 months on I finally am actually embracing grieving for them, I am so sorry for your loss
