I am quite sure that you can survive any emotional response you may have to T leaving.

I don't think you can emotionally constipate yourself and hold it in for an entire month. Sounds painful, and unnecessary.

Can you imagine feeling your emotions and being able to cope with them at the same time? I can, because you were just noting not too long ago that you are able to do this. Your emotions will not overtake your mind and your body and leave you just a puddle of ickity-goo. You will still have your mind and your body even if you feel really really really sad that your T is gone for an entire month.
