Myrtle, your post made me so sad. I'm sorry you are having to say goodbye to your therapist. It sounds as if you and she handled it in the best way possible and achieved a lovely ending.

This must be so hard. The only analogy I have is when I've quit therapy and thought I wasn't ever going back. I had the same stab of grief when I wanted so much to tell my therapist about things, but I didn't have her any more. You know what I thought of doing? Writing her letters. Would that be a good way to stay connected to the caring you internalized from your therapist? Maybe you will send some of them in the future; maybe you won't, but in the meantime, it might provide you some small comfort.

(((Myrtledog))). I agree with the others-you have a right to your grief. Try to take care of yourself and not rush the grieving process. It means you're a real human being--and that you had a deep, real relationship with her.
