Accepted Answer

Finding Psychiatrist: You don't say what kind of doctor but i will assume a psychiatrist because you mention xanax (alprazolam). 1. If you have insurance ask them for a list of psychiatrists in your area. 2. Ask your current doctor. With this list, make sure to confirm that they are all board certified psychiatrists. Look them up online on a service like vitals.Com. For more

Question 6

my friend and i were wondering if you think it is ok for children to go to funerals. if so, what age?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I see no problem with children attending funerals. If they are "too" small (2-4), they may just end up having "good" time at the funeral. If they are older, they may not necessarily understand what's going on, but, at least, might just stand silently. I actually believe that children must see both sides of life, not just the bright one.

Question 7

Varies: Some airlines will give you a reduced rate for tickets booked at the last minute if there has been a death in the family. It varies by airline and you may need to show proof. Check with the individual airline.

Question 9

Anxiety: Call medicare and ask for a mental health professional in your area who specializes in treating anxiety. They can give you names, then you can ask your doctor or friends if they have any familiarity with these professionals. Best wishes.

Question 10

am i at risk if i go to a funeral or visitation service for someone who died of covid-19?

Accepted Answer

Yes/no: You are not at risk from the deceased, but social distancing would be needed regardless, as well as mask and gloves for best safety from those present. Most folks are not attending unless it is a first-degree relative. These decisions are very difficult. If needed, call the closest relative to ask what the family desires. Best wishes
