Dinah,
I'm sorry that this is so hard for you. I wish that we/I could help. We'll try! Let us know if you think of anything we can do. I didn't see a post on Grief...
I think that emotional pain is harder than physical pain (others may not agree, and I'm sure it is different for each person). What happens when the pain comes through? How do you respond? Do you think that your therapist could help you work through the pain if you could tolerate the pain? I mean, I can handle certain pain if I know that it won't last forever (and it helps to have some idea of how long it will be there) and I know that once I deal with it it will be gone - I will have fixed the problem. Or would it work to allow the pain while you are with your therapist, but dissociate in between sessions? I don't know.
Really, the whole thing should just go away and leave you in peace. Sigh. Wouldn't that be nice? Since that isn't going to happen, though, you'll need to think of a plan B.
Let me know if I can help.
