I don’t know if the sessions helped, but at the end of it the therapist gave me a book and told me to think about the story inside. The story followed a kid who lost their beloved teddy bear. The child was distraught. They looked everywhere. Despite their best efforts and fruitless searches, they never got it back. Never found it. The bear was gone. The moral of the story was “sometimes you have to let go.” I’m pretty sure it was the book they were supposed to give the kids whose parents died, but I went with it.
