Hey.
I have had clinicians retire or leave before I was ready to stop working with them, and I took it pretty hard, at times, yeah.
It's can be a bit like grieving. At least, it was a bit like grieving, for me. Moments of realisation when I'd catch myself thinking that I would tell x that, or whatever. It does pass... But it can take some time, yeah.
It can be hardest when there is a role that a person plays in your life that you still need to be filled and when there isn't a replacement. I mean, there is a sense in which the person isn't replaceable... But there is a sense in which the role they played can be... Do you still need to see a p-doc? Do you need to find a new one? Or is part of it about moving on from having a p-doc in your life at all?
