Dinah, I don't know what to say. I just hope that you'll have faith in yourself, in your ability to function, and to be well.
It's so strange that we become attached to these guys. For me, I feel it's almost irrational how attached I am to my T. But I know that if he left tomorrow, I'd be ok. I think you and your T would find a way to keep a connection between you, perhaps not a regular, set your watch by it sort of connection, but maybe one you could count on.
WHat I have been thinking about doing is writing letters to mine in my journal. Saying to him all of the things I feel the need to say - which are not of course about him, but about me, and it is with myself that I need "discuss" really meaning that I need to think about these things.
Dinah, you have so much insight, into yourself and others, that I have complete faith that you would be able to deal with a different relationship, a less frequent relationship, with your T.
All of that said, I do send wishes that you are able to continue to see him. You have had so many losses lately, I truly hope this doesn't unfold as you fear it might.
