Your post was lovely and so heart felt. I can feel your pain and sadness. This isn't your choice, nor hers. It just is. I don't think you can know what the ultimate effect on you is going to be, but you will be able to carry what she has given you with you always.
I believe that therapists, like most of us, appreciate hearing about the impact they've made. Telling her how she has helped you and what it means to you is the best going away gift you could give. It is Ok to cry and feel sad. This is the correct response to missing someone. I know you are worried about a flood, but even if this happens, she will be OK with it. I'm guessing she would even be touched by the depth of your feelings. You definately will NOT be punished for crying.
And if you really think about it, does caring really come to an end? Contact might end...but caring continues. You will care about her, wonder how she is and think about your time with her. And she will continue to care about you and she will hold you in her thoughts and wish good things for you.
I wish things weren't so painful for you and you didn't have to face so many transitions at the same time. I'm glad you've found a new therapist to help you over some of the humps.
