It sounds to me as if you want very much to get it out before you go on your extended vacation.

It still hurts now, I think, because it isn't over since you are carrying the burden alone. Please share this with her, if you can.

If you tell her right at the beginning of the session you will have the whole session to have her help you deal with how you feel, your reaction. Maybe start right off with "I have something I need to talk about and it is very hard for me."
It will be ok.

Good luck to you.

And thank you so much for your military service.
