I think it would be O.K. to contact her. But as I am sure you realize, doing so is not the long term solution. At some point after you speak with her, you will probably once again feel as if you are falling apart. In fact, by talking to her, you may be prolonging the difficulty of getting over her and the sense of loss. I say this because especially since she does not sound like she is the type of therapist who is willing to conduct a long distance relationship.
You also should consider what would happen if you call her and she does not respond (or does not respond well) since it is not really an emergency.
It sounds like you would benefit from the support of someone (i.e. another therapist) even if you say you feel mostly O.K. I would say this is especially true after losing a close friend.
I know it is hard to think in the long run when you feel this way - but in this case, my advice would be to try to.
