I'm so sorry for your loss. And to be missing significant comfort people in your life right now is just too much and so unfair.
Grief is a funny thing. Some people cry buckets and I always envy them. I get numb and it always feels like something is stuck in my chest, a weight that is too hard to move under. I've written about it as a boulder and I'm pinned down.
You can't force the tears, but sometimes you can jump start them. Do you have a favorite, sad old movie? Or a passage in a book? Just the release and the endorphins might be what you need to feel a tinsy-bit better.
You therapist will come back soon. And so will your daughter. Take it a day at a time, don't count it all out. Everyday do something that makes you smile. Everyday do something that would make each of them smile. Write down what you are doing with the intention of sharing it with them. I bet they will love it when they come back.
And keep posting. Camp Comfort is always open.
And just a nudge and reminder...you could call her. I think sharing your grief, given what happened today, definitely qualifies as that "need."
