In a desperate attempt to at least feel better about how *I'm* leaving things, I left T this message:
"I have a couple of things I want to say to you and since I'm not sure when I'll see you again, I'm saying them on this voice mail. One thing that I keep coming back to from the session last week was your comment that this is who you are and maybe I don't know that about you. At the time I was horrified. I've known you for over 24 years and while I don't know all of the details of your life and I know you in a limited way, I've seen your heart. And I know that the person you are right now is not the person I've known for 24 years. One of the more helpful things you did for me last winter was to constantly remind me that I was still in there somewhere, even when I couldn't see it myself. I don't know if it works that way for you, but I want you to know that I still see glimpses of you. I'm sad that you are not yourself right now and that I'm not in better shape to just go with it, but I want you to know that I love you and I appreciate all you've done for me over the years."
I don't expect her to respond, because she might have to admit that she has nothing left to give her clients right now and I think that's the crux of the problem here. But at least I said it.
