So Sad

My beloved ex T had to stop practicing in March due to her breast cancer had spread to the brain. I recieved an email that she passed away today. I am so sad! I will never forget her. She made a huge impact on life.

I'm so sorry for your loss. @mrsps said it far better than I could; remember there's a part of you touched by her that celebrates her life every day.

Hi, I just wanted to say that you have at the right to feel the way you do! She made an impact in your life that has changed you forever, whether it be good or bad. Also, I am very pleased to hear that you were notified. However difficult receiving the news may be, take comfort in the fact that you have knowledge, which is a form of closure, and you can go pay your respects if you wish. Grief will take time, and even though she's not a family member or friend per se, she was someone who had a great significance in your life. Be gentle with yourself, have patience, and take your time; there is no right or wrong way to grieve, and we're all here to support you! Do you have a new therapist to help you through this?

Thanks Everyone..

Holly- I do have a new T. although it has been very hard trusting the new T. I cried on the way to the appointments for the first month and half.

I am very greatful that my ex T asked if I wanted to be added to her website that she used to send out updates regarding her progress.

I'm hopeful that your new T can help you start sorting through this. I'm actually going through the process myself, and it is a very long. With support from here and my friends it has gotten easier with time. You will never forget, but you will learn to live! Oh, and one more thing, crying is a good release! Keep us updated on your progress :-)

I'm so sorry. I cannot imagine how this feels. I have only been seeing my T for about 7 months now and I already have developed such a strong relationship with her, it would hurt so bad to think she was ill, let alone terminal. Thoughts and :hug:

I'm sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is, 2 years ago my therapist, who I had been with for 14 years, also died from breast cancer that spread. I grew up with her, and she was the only one who had been there through everything. It's really hard, and I still miss her. I always want to talk to her when I've accomplished something and tell her how I did. Or when my new t doesn't do something she used to do, or know or understand something I know she would have understood because she was there. Starting out with someone new is really hard too. It is really tough. Sometimes I still find it hard to believe she's really gone. I don't know what comfort I can offer, besides just to say you're not alone, and no you won't ever forget her, or the impact she had on your life. xx

When I saw your post yesterday, I got really sad for you. So sad, that I couldn't respond. It must have been so hard to first change therapists and now to know that your former one has passed. That is sad and I hope you will be able to work through the grief. Know that there are people thinking of you in support.
