I can't imagine what it is like to live through something like this.
One thing I've learned in therapy, though, is that "wherever you go, there you are". As different as things may feel, you (individually) are a constant. So you may be uprooted, and the way your life settles out in the long run may be different from what you imagined a month ago. But you are Dinah's beloved therapist and a husband and a father and a friend.
Please be sure to take care of yourself during this ordeal. My standard solution for stress is ice cream. It is amazing how often it really does help. Do what you need to do for you.
Dinah seems to be quite comforted by knowing that she is an important part of your life. You are certainly important to her. What a gift you have given her.
We'll be here to support her (and you).
Thank you for taking care of my friend.
