It's awesome that you are looking forward to counseling! My next session isn't until a week from today(wednesday) and i'm anxious for it.
It's amazing how much better i felt after i let everything out in our second joint session. I should've brought a towel! The individual sessions i've had have been much more helpful and productive and i hope that yours are too.
It does get easier, while mine has not left it does get easier to think about it. At first i was crying at every reminder of her and us. Now while i get sad I don't usually end up crying.
That's awesome that you made plans with your daughter just the two of you and it's something new for you! The excitement will make it even more memorable.
You are doing the right things, just keep at it.
