I am so sorry. It can only imagine how you are feeling. Such a loss.
Did the two of you discuss this possibility, and what your therapist thought you should do? Does he have a colleague who has agreed to be there for his clients in this eventuality? Or did he give you some names? My therapist has given me a list of three people, I think, that he thought I could work with, if God forbid, something should happen to him. Or he promised to give me a list. I think I've blocked it out.
The loss of a long term therapist is a significant loss, piled on top of other significant losses. While no one can replace your therapist, it could help a lot to have someone in person who can understand and help you sort things out. As of course Babblers do.
