Forgive me.....it's fairly late, I'm tired, and I haven't had much to eat today so, I hope what I say comes out the way I intend it to.
>> I think you absolutely can mourn this loss. I'd worry if you did not. Loss of an important person in your life is horrible. It's terribly painful, and it's not something that you can just "get over".
--Thank you, but....why does everyone (mostly IRL) make it seem like I'm overreacting? My medical doc throws trite condescending platitutes at me, and my T doesn't show much of a reaction herself thereby negating my reaction. And maybe I am being stupid, maybe reacting this way over a T (rather than a relative or close friend) isn't "normal?"
>> But it's part of our humanity to be able to form relationships and develop feelings for another person. Mourning that is also part of the human experience.
--Well, if that's all the "human experience" is (and that's all it seems to be, at least for me), then I don't want it.
That's all I feel safe saying.
I don't want anyone to worry about me, I really don't, for lots of reasons, least of being I shouldn't take up the space or other's time (then I should stop posting and replying, huh? Duh. I don't know why I do this, what part of me feels impelled to type all of these words and put them out there.....). There are more important things and people to concern yourselves with. Really. I do appreciate it all though.
I appreciate your responding GG (I hope you take care of yourself too....being a T IRL and here (in a way) must be very trying. ((((((gg))))))
