Well it is kinda getting down the the bottom line here ... She's about to be gone ... So, it's up to you whether or not you sink or swim during that time ... It's not like she's going on vacation either ...

It's for medical reasons for god's sake ... !!!

Don't you think your therapist deserves to take care of her own health? ... This means that while she's having her surgery and recuperating from it you won't be able to have contact with her.

Perhaps there's a hotline or support group you can be in touch with in the meantime? ... If not, oh well ... This is life and sometimes it really, really sucks.

In closing, I would just like to add that it would be totally selfish for any of us to expect our therapists to put their own health on hold just because we don't think we're ready to handle our own problems without them.
