Should I go see a therapist?

I'm going through a rough patch and I don't know if it will get any better. Here is a little about what is going on in between late December of last year and early January this year a close loved one was diagnosed with cancer. I have never had to deal with someone having serious illnesses in my life so this was all new to me. Recently that close loved one ended up passing away something again I have never experienced. During all that I was going through a lot of changes and transitions in my life. I was in the process of graduating and going to college I'm tired of feeling the way that I do I want to move on and accept what has happened but its hard. Everyone that I have talked to only says enough in that moment to make it "better" or whatever I am told is no help at all. I'm afraid to tell them whats going on in my mind what I am feeling. I guess I find it easier to talk to other people who aren't family or close friends. I'm able to open up a little more. sort of. I don't know if I should go to temporarily go see a therapist just to help me get through this? Find another way to cope on my own? Should I let time pass and see if it gets better? I just feel lost and I feel like I'm out of options.

I appreciate all responses, Thank you.

    Some short-term talk therapy with a good counselor is your next best step.
