I know. I think the space is important, too. It's kind of a home away from home. My therapist's office is not much to speak of, but I've grown so used to it and the predictability of it is so comforting. Once, when there was construction on the building, the noise was awful, so we met in another office suite on the other side of the building. It was very noticeable to me how different it felt to sit in a different office.
My therapist has an oriental rug with the pattern that is, I think, supposed to represent elephant footsteps. Sometimes, the rug is where my eyes go when I'm thinking or having strong feelings, etc.
I think it is so great that he let you take pictures! Did you sneak in a photo of his face so you can remember him between sessions? :-)
It is a loss, but I know you will adapt.
