I had a p-doc I saw once a week for therapy for five years. Last January, we agreed to terminate. I was still to see him every couple of months for meds. After a few months, I felt such pain and grief over losing him that I could barely stand it. Unlike your situation, he was not retiring and it was mostly my decision to end.
I finally called him after 6 months and asked if we could renegotiate this so I was seeing him every couple of weeks or at least once a month and he said fine.
This is different from your situation, where your T has retired and is moving on.
But maybe you should try to think of it as if a good friend had moved and lost contact. It's hard and sad and you feel abandoned and lonely. But you also know you can make new friends and move on as well. So your new T is your new friend, a new relationship to build and explore and cherish.
