How Does One Cope With Loss Of A Sibling?

I lost my brother a couple years ago and I ve been able to cope with it until recently. Over the last few days, I ve been breaking down. I ll have what seem like panic attacks where I find it hard to breath or talk and just break down crying. I m looking into some kind of grief counseling/psychological help.

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, you have adjustment disorder and in that case, you need psychotherapy in form of supportive therapy. You can consult a psychologist therapy. In case, you feel low mood or sleep disturbance, you can try some relaxation exercise or low dose benzodiazepine. If you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
