I'm so sorry that you're going through this right now. It sounds awful. When I had to leave a therapist that I had an amazing connection with because of a move, I felt like I was being torn apart. I had kept a journal while seeing her, and it helped some to look back over some of the entries. If you haven't kept a journal, maybe trying to remember and write down some of your most positive experiences with her would be helpful?
The hurt DID fade for me. But it's been four years now and I still think of my past therapist - always fondly.
I wish you courage during this period. Try to be kind to yourself in small ways - maybe having a cup of tea (or ice cream cone depending on the weather), wear extra comfortable clothes, hold your bear. Take care.
