Thank you Deborah for your comments. It is true that it is HIM, the therapist that I will miss, and there's no denying that. I have thought about being able to send him letters or email but I just have the feeling it's a bad idea for me. I know I will probably regret it but I also think I am being wise for myself, and trying hard not to continue the pain. It will be an abrupt ending in some ways, but I don't want the ending to go on forever, either.
I know there is no answer to grief, and you're right, there is so pablum for me to get through this, no easy answers. What you wrote about maybe joining a grief support group makes sense, though. I am also grieving other recent losses, and maybe some support would help. I'm at a place in life where I don't know many people and I don't have any family that understands.
Thank you for lending your thoughts to my situation. I just got your book out of the library again and am going to read it again for strength and wisdom.
