Laurie, I can't imagine how hard it must be to leave like you are. My T says I can always come back when I need him, if I need him. If I need more therapy, if I need to drop in for a visit, if I need to talk.
Am I confusing you with someone else or will you be going back to where your T lives in a few years? If so, maybe it would help to do what I did when I quit smoking - I told myself it wasn't forever, that I would go back to it (I'm going to start again when I'm 72), and it's not lost forever. I know that sounds weird to do with smoking cessation, but it really helped.
We all seem to make it through. I don't remember hearing of people going completely bananas and being committed to hospital because of ending therapy. Nor do I think many leap off high buidlings because of it. And I have never heard of a case of someone going into therapy because they ended therapy (correct me if I'm wrong!).
So, we'll do it. It'll just hurt like *^$@^ (^($#%^.
