Grief counseling can help Amy process her feelings about her partner's terminal illness and impending death, providing her with emotional support and coping strategies. Group interventions, such as support groups for caregivers or those dealing with loved ones with terminal illnesses, can offer peer support, allowing Amy to share her experiences and feelings with others who are in similar situations, which can help reduce her sense of isolation and stress.
