Ishiru: I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your girlfriend. This must have been difficult for you.
As to the question of seeing a therapist, I think that most trans individuals who have undergone transition would say that having a therapist is very important. Transitioning is a long & difficult process. It has many challenges. The important thing is to find an experienced gender therapist. Because, you're correct, there probably are therapists out there who would try to convince you that you're not really trans, or that somehow you can be "cured" by some other means than transitioning. You don't want to see someone like that.
I, of course, don't know anything about how available experienced gender therapists are where you live. My suggestion would be to try to make contact with some other transgendered / transsexual individuals where you live & find out who they see.
Good luck writing your letter. I do know that writing a letter is one way that has worked for other trans persons. Just be gentle. Remember that, as is often said: "It's their transition too..."
