Monique's 7-year-old daughter died after a prolonged illness more than 4 years ago. Monique thought she was prepared for her daughter's death but has found herself unable to move forward in her life. She has maintained her daughter's bedroom exactly as it was when her daughter was alive, and she visits the room regularly, remembering experiences in her daughter's life and imagining her daughter still alive. Monique has engaged in therapy with several grief counselors since her daughter's death but has been unable to fully process her grief. Her marriage and friendships have suffered, but Monique feels unable to move beyond the loss of her daughter.
