Have you asked him to explain to you "why" you're too old to see him? Does he see any other adults, or are you the only one over a particular age?
Maybe ask him if this is a bad time for him, but that you really think he's been helpful, and you hate to have to start all over again with someone new. On the other hand, I also found that finding a new therapist was a good thing, very hard to make the break, hard to think someone else can make a difference, but maybe worth a try while you're still planning on seeing your current T?
I understand the hug thing - I'd want one too, but I'd wait for him to offer. Sorry he's going through a hard time, and sorry this is so painful for you. I can certainly understand.
