I think this is a huge opportunity for you, and you definitely should not run away. Telling your therapist about your realization about your mother, and linking that to your increased need for your therapist is soooo important.
It does hurt to care, no matter who you are caring for, and it maybe hurts more in a professional relationship. But living life without the attachments that cause the pain doesn't sound very fulfilling to me.
Explore this with her, and one day you might find yourself in a more comfortable sort of attachment.
