Hi Therapygirl I'm jumping in again on one of these threads. I am not really familiar with your situation so sorry to intrude here but I just read your post & noticed your line "I told her that she was not the same person since her husband died last fall and that I've kept waiting for her to come back". It must be really really hard for you Therapygirl to see that your T is not the same person. You must understand it's nothing you are doing or not doing or has anything to do with you. No, she is likely not coming back emotionally. The death of a spouse is huge, really huge. You are never the same again. Believe me. Your whole world changes. She probably cannot be there for you because her life has changed so dramatically that she can never be the same again for anyone. I'm sorry you had to have that happen in your therapy, she probably is trying but just can't make it happen anymore for you or any of her clients. Best thing is, yes tell her how you feel but with a small understanding for her in her loss. It takes years to get through. Not get over, because you never get over, but get through. I hope you find another T to help you through this. It would be devasting for a client.
