Thank you all for the support. I felt so much better after reading all of this. I told my therapist today that I feel stupid last night and he was sad too that I didn't find more support from the group. But he said they probably just didn't understand the relationship and that was actually sad for them. And I told him I brought my grief here and found the support I needed. He asked me to please promise to write here often since he trusts "you guys" to keep me together for him while he is gone.
We worked out a few other coping strategies too, in between the tears. I told him I didn't want to cry, that I had promised myself I wouldn't, but sh*t, here they were anyway. He said it was fine, it touched him that we had such a deep connection. And he asked me if I wanted to keep his talisman while he was gone, he said he brought it, even though I hadn't asked for it. He actually had put my charm in it, he said he was "charging it up with Daisy power" but he was happy to keep the charm in another safe place and leave the talisman with me. I hesitated for about a nano-second and then nodded my head, took it and cried for another 10 minutes.
He promised he would come back because now he has to retrieve his talisman as well as give me back my charm. So it is a double promise. How young does that sound?
I don't care. At this moment, I truly love my therapist and his way of caring and showing me he cares. But I still hate vacations.
Thanks again for all the support. I love you guys too.
