These are just words, you need to have this formally finalized on paper for it to have any meaning. I think this will give you some closure and a chance to start planning for the future. After counseling, it might be a good idea for you to spend some time with your son and perhaps the rest of your family, they can give you valuable support in these dark times.
Good luck, I hope this works out well for you.
