Been there.
My experience is there is no way you can reach closure in two weeks, or four weeks, or indeed to any timetable.
My advice to everyone is never pass up a chance to say, "I love you", "Thank you", "I'm sorry" or "I forgive you", if that's how you really feel. That applies in therapy and beyond.
Life is uncertain and suddenly you've got week, day, an hour to say good bye - and it won't be enough.
Love to all!
PS: Zoo, have you
told your therapist you want closure? It might help.
You: I know we haven't finished our work on (
whatever it was), but what matters to me now is
closure. Endings have always been difficult for me and that's what I need to talk about.
