^^^Very much this.
A grief counselor was what I needed when my first husband died. Someone who specialized in that particular need. My doctor pointed me to the right person.
Later in life I got a wonderful recommendation from a friend for someone who helped me tremendously with a family issue.
When I was diagnosed with cancer it was suggested I look into a group therapy sort of thing. So I gave it a try but soon found out that it was really a chemo support group much more than it was a cancer support group. I didn't do chemo or radiation and a couple of members of the group made sure I knew I wasn't 'cancery' enough to be part of their club. I tried going back a few times but eventually it was more upsetting than helpful.
The right fit makes a huge difference as well as being open to allowing therapy to help you.
