He might be taking it pretty hard. Or he might be really busy trying to deal with practical things. I’m sure he’ll contact you as soon as he’s able to.
> On top of that, one disaster after another is piling up on us in the evacuation. My nerves are at the breaking point, and did in fact break today, causing my son no end of embarassment publicly. Again. :(
Don’t be too hard on yourself, OK? I can imagine that most people affected by this find their nerves are at breaking point.

> I'm reaching the end of my rope.You are a priority; you have a pre-existing illness that may need attention. You aren’t bothering anyone if you call them. If you need to call someone, you’re allowed!

I’m glad you found them. That must have been a huge worry.
> I guess maybe he's thinking of me as an ex-client who's bugging him?
I very much doubt he’s thinking of you as an ex-client. I really don’t think he’d let you go that easily. And I doubt he thinks you’re bugging him. But perhaps he has to spend a few days getting his own stuff sorted out before he’ll be in a position to be able to help… It’s a strange and unusual situation to be in, for everyone. I’m sure he’ll be there for you, but it might take a little while. I hope he gets in contact with you soon. If you’re really at the end of your rope, I hope you can find some kind of temporary help.
Again, if there’s anything at all I can do, just say the word.
Much love,
Tamar
