Of course you're sad and scared. That's perfectly appropriate. Unsettled situations are always scary, except for those lucky individuals who enjoy adrenaline.
And of course you're sad. You're losing an important relationship, at the very least for two months.
I hope you're able to accept your feelings and honor them. And then maybe you can also use the two months as a learning experience. Among the people who think they could never survive the loss of their therapists there seems to be many reactions to separation. Some find the pain lessens, and some find it stays the same or grows. Perhaps these two months will give you a chance to test your wings a bit.
I know, I know. I'm in a particularly sensible mood today. Perhaps you could file that away for when you're ready for it. And in the meantime accept my very real condolences on your loss, even if it's "just" a two month loss.
