Oh Dinah -
I know it doesn't make you feel any better to know that we'd all be at the end of our rope to lose so much, to be displaced, and to lose the constant contact and support of our therapists. It is hell, but I know you have the strength to persevere. But like therapy, this transition will be a tedious and slow process.
If I could, I'd like to be your advance team for your new temporary home. I'd fill your cupboard with dishes and food, make the beds, put fresh flowers in each room and bake chocolate chip cookies. Garden girl would be recruited to insure all the garden beds are weeded, trimed and watered.
It's only natural to guess what your T is thinking. But I don't think he is avoiding you. I think he is in shock. Distracted. And trying to figure things out. His e-mail message to you was very positive; he wants to continue being your therapist. Remember he refered to you as "an important link" to his life.
However, until he does call to arrange a session, it's okay to call for additional support. There is nothing wrong with that. I would call in a second. Afterall, you need all the support you can gather right now.
Thank you for sharing this journey with us. I know how painful it is. I am so glad you found your in-laws.
I went to a college football game today, a stadium 100,000+ people. They asked for a moment of silence to pray for the people affected by Katrina. I was moved to tears. Within 2 seconds, the place went completely quiet ... could have heard a pin drop. Everyone was emotional. I wish you could feel our love and support.
