I have a hard time with this sometimes too, and it feels so empty when it happens. Other times I clearly hear him in my head and he stays with me much more easily.
We've talked about this and one of the things that has helped is that he said it was OK to reach for him out in the cosmos. He said to send my thoughts out, he doesn't mind the psychic intrusion. :) But it has helped to just stop for a moment and think of him and know he is still there. I tease him about needing to know where he is -- I want a web cam of a cardboard cutout of him in his office so I can be reassured. Once I said, "you mean you don't live here (in his office) with a hot plate and a murphy bed?!"
Do you take the hanky with you to your sessions? It seems like if you took it consistently it would pick up the essence of your therapist and remind you more of him. I think it is really cool it has his initials already on it. But if he didn't write them, it isn't his handwriting, and that might make it even more personal. Just a thought.
