I wanted to echo what you wrote about the sadness part. There have been times when we've sat in a session in this unbearable sadness and I know he is totally with me. I ask him about vicarious traumatization a lot. He says he holds the hope, which makes it all worth it.
As far as the good with the bad...my therapist said recently, "hey, I've got a bunch of daisies growing in my garden this year. I'm amazed at how strong they are as compared to some of my more fragile flowers. Reminds me of you." I loved that!
