Grief is normal when you're leaving any long-term relationship, even with a T. I quit my first T suddenly after about 3 years and I cried that whole first night, even though it was my choice to leave. It took a long time to grieve.

I think you'll be fine too. You're doing what you want with your life and living with the partner who makes you happy. I imagine that your T will know what to say and do to make your termination with her easier. She's always sounded like a great T! I hope you're going to post here and tell us how you are.
I've never had a phone session with my therapist. Also, I've never had the email option.

Yep, grief is present. I can't believe I'm still that attached. I tear up each time I think of what's going on. Feeling embarrassed even though I 'understand'.

Yes, I have a great T. That's what makes it hard, of course. I feel sorry for any new therapist I may see. She'll have to measure up.

And,I think I'll finally get the courage to ask her a few personal questions like if she's married or has children. Yep!
