My t just lost a parent two week ago. He has had a difficult year. I talked with him last week, and I am sure boundaries were crossed, but that was due to my dh. He sent my t something for me that had some spiritual significance. Anyway, he said he would get back to me about setting up an appt. late last week and hasn't. he thanked me for all my support, etc. Not sure if i should email him or not. Just thinking a lot about him and missing him.
I had some bad dependence issues months ago, but this is I just want to be some comfort. I know that he does look forward to my emails; we have been through a lot together. He has stood by me 100%!!I guess i am just rambling!!!!

Hi...
I don't know much about your history with your T...
but I'd do what my heart tells me.
When my T was going through hard situations, for example, when her mother died, i tried to quietly let her know i felt for her and i was sorry. A little gift, a heartfelt letter to let her know.
I tried not to invade and give her all the space she needed,but she appreciated those things i did. Something small and from your heart...a few lines...My T valued that.
hope you can do what you feel is best in this situation, knowing your T and the relationship you have.love,
Frida

Thanks! Yeah, I did email him and he is going to be out more than he thought. He said a few things that i was going to respond to about how I am, and so forth. Thought I would give it a few days and look for a poem or something.
I thought giving him space, and time to greive is the best thing I could do for him.

Yes, we have a very connected history. I am able to pick up on things with him; I fired him when things were getting painful. He continued to support me, and took me back without giving me a list of expectations or anything. I guess I just wish I could do something for him, the way he has helped me.
