It had to be something serious. He hated missing even a few days of work. I'm trying not to take it personally that he sent me a letter talking about "new and current clients". Maybe this was written by someone else in his name. I wish they had sent it to "To my clients" or worded so that it was clear he didn't write it.
I think it's goodbye, no matter what. I can't do this again. I did send him a reply telling him he was in my thoughts and prayers, and sending him my love and best wishes. I got back a "vacation" reply stating that he was on extended medical leave and was not accepting new clients.
I might make an appointment with the other therapist to see if I can get any more information. If not, I don't think he can be of any use. The only thing that would help me would be for me to understand what happened. And that's not likely something I'll be able to do.
I told my therapist once that I liked to know where, in general, he was going when he went on vacation. Just so I could sort of place him in the universe. I don't know where he's gone, and it feels... I don't know.
It's my nightmare.
