Sorry for the loss of your grandma.

I hope you can hold tight to all the times you got to be with her, and allow those thoughts/feelings to help with the sadness. (I never got to be with a grandma so I feel anyone that got that chance, to actually get to know an ancestor is so so fortunate... not that I"m taking away from your loss-- just trying to help in showing a fortunate part of knowing grandparents)

I hope that someday, you can find those things you miss from a T. -- within your friendships, marriage and yourself....

To decompress and not be surrounded by my noisy boys and the busy-ness of my life, and to be cared for and heard. A place to bring my stuff and leave it. A place to talk to someone who understands completely why certain things are hard for me
I do believe that those things are "out there" too! Not just in a T.s office. (though I haven't ever been able to attain any of it yet)
and for some (like me) that haven't friends, and are in abusive/messed up relationships--
I think therapy is supposed to challenge us to be able to have friends on our own, to decompress on our own and be cared for and heard from by friends and our partners, to lean on those friends and partners when in sadness....
someday I'd like to get there --- I hope that for you too.
