Oh, Shar, what can I say?
I know this is an incredible, immense loss for you. It isn't "reminiscent" of a loss--it is a loss.
But like Rach said, your T is still "there". You know where to find her if you need a booster shot at some point, yes?
Your post moved me so much. You wrote so much from your heart in a way I hadn't seen in a long while from you. You allowed yourself to really express true emotions, and eloquently so.
This is a sign of health and strength, I believe.
And you know how much I appreciate the reassurances that you aren't about to go to "plan B". (I hope your reassurances are genuine, and not just to assuage us over here in cyberland.)
You are a wonderful person, Shar.
Is it possible to ask your T for some kind of "transitional object" to take with you? Maybe a photo? And can you write down some of the therapeutic things she "would say at a time like this" so you can refer to them for encouragement when you need to?
Consider yourself hugged. You can do this. It's hard and sad and painful, but you can do this.
