crushed,
I think you just take it a day at a time. I think we all tend to forget how miserable we were before, when steeped in the misery of today. Time has a way of glossing things over and we don't remember it being "that bad." Sort of like childbirth -- I remember with the second child thinking, "I didn't like labor the first time, what am I doing here AGAIN!?"
I suspect you are remembering all the good things about your therapist and not remembering how torn up you have been for nearly a year. You will get through this. You are grieving for lost dreams. This is hard and painful.
Try to do something with people tomorrow, but not the hustle-bustle of shopping. Buy yourself a Christmas present or sing your favorite Christmas song. Move one chair at a time.
You will get through this. Hang on.
