Hold on to the ways you remember her caring. I know I go back and forth a lot about if my T likes me/cares about me. And I've found that if I can remember the times when I felt cared for by her, it makes the other times easier to get through.

That's a really good idea. Thank you!

I know I'm running around in circles with my replies, but I still can't fathom her response. Especially after working with me for nearly a year and a half, I would have assumed my life meant enough in the very least that she would have given me something not so dismissive.

My mind constantly takes this and runs: what if I hadn't screwed up, and I had died. Would she have cared? What if I were to die in the next two weeks: would she wish she had said something different?

I would have been okay with her saying something like "you idiot...what the ****?" That would have at least been laced with some emotion.

Maybe I'm just over-thinking this.
