I think Dinah's comments are excellent... important to take care of yourself by trying to find some support elsewhere in the meantime.
I feel for you. I know I have a hugely hard time with my therapist's absence (or mine from her). We just got through a week away, I had a week with her, and now I have to go out of town for a week unexpectedly. That is hard- just the not seeing them. But, then it's even harder when you add in all the emotions you have around death, the fact that she isn't available, can't support you right now, and the fact just is.... your need doesn't go away because she isn't able to meet it. I hope you can find someone to talk things through with- this shouldn't be a grin and bear it situation. Is she perhaps referring people at all in her absence?
Hang in there and take care of yourself...
