Well, that is a good question. I don't know that I have the answer. I guess I wonder, is it possible to remember all the good things about my relationship with him without feeling so sad? I grew and changed in huge ways with him, and I know I owe him a lot of my success.
On the other hand, I recognize that I am grieving something much bigger than him. I am grieving what I never got from my own father that I felt from my T, and missing that acceptance and affection because there's no replacement. When I terminated with him, I immediately turned around and thought, "Who's going to love me like that?"
