Is there some reason it's worse this year? Something in your relationship with her that's made it harder to be away from her (or her to be away from you?)
Or something happening outside the relationship that is wearing away your sense of good feelings about her and yourself?
Going away for a month is pretty brutal, when you've come to depend on and feel secure in someone's presence for a long time. My T does the same thing in August, and I'm worrying about how I'll react this year. Each year is different, depending on how we're getting along, what ADs I'm taking--or not taking.
I hate it, even though he calls and leaves occasional message for me on my machine (not that they say much, but it's still a really nice thing to do)-- Maybe she could talk to you on the phone. Or you could write to her-maybe she would read them-but, even if she wouldn't see it until later--- if she knows you're writing, and you know she'll read them. I've done that, and sometimes it's helped.
Sorry this is so much harder than other years-- that amount of pain is something no one should have--
Is there a way you can contact her and see if she can do something to be there?
