It feels like breaking up with a lover, doesn't it?
How long until she gets back and you can discuss whether the relationship can be repaired? I don't believe that it is hopeless. You need to figure out what you need in order to continue, and you need to find out what she needs in order to continue. Then to see if there is room for each of you to get what you need.
My therapist and I have done it countless times. So have my husband and I.
But I also generally find it soothing in these situations to look around for other therapists. Just to have another option should it be necessary.
