I think what you felt when you were anxious is what is referred to as being "emotionally held." These are very special moments in which some part of you connects with some part of him and feels comforted and just known somehow. I've yet to figure out how to MAKE those moments happen, but they are very special when they do. So you may not be able to figure out what the words or tone were, because it was more than that. My therapist describe those moments as "magic" -- for him too.
I think you've received a lot of great advice on this thread. Perhaps you need to hear that he will hold you in his mind while he is gone and therefore hold the hope too. You aren't alone, even at 2am.
Monday will be fine. It is a big step to ask for what you need and brave too. Be proud of yourself.
