Gosh, antigua, that's bound to be a shock. If nothing else, it takes a while to absorb that kind of radical change, especially when it comes out of the blue, and you have no control over it.
Maybe you need to give yourself a little space to take it in, without moving to what you'll do. I do hope you go on with it, because it sounds as though this is what you want-- and it would be a shame to let someone else's loss of confidence or energy, or commitment take that away.
But, even if you assume, as a going-in thing that you can pursue it if you want, you need time to get through the initial phases of just accepting that you're on your own.
I'm really sorry it turned out this way-- but give yourself a lot of compassion and room to be taken aback, and disappointed. As Dinah said, it's a very understandable part of your reaction-- even though it's by no means a life sentence to being without this dream occupation that you've found. If you give it a little space-- but don't let it completely take over-- maybe you can find the way to stay with the dream, which would be great.
