I was speaking of my own perspective only. Being a mother and wife, and having come close on several occasions to losing my husband and my sons under various circumstances, I've experienced a depth of absolute fear and crushing loss that was entirely overwhelming. The losses of such close loved ones has and will be utterly devastating for me.

I care about my therapist a great deal and will feel a loss whenever our relationship ends, but it just isn't the same kind of relationship. I won't feel like my heart and soul has been ripped out of me like I felt with my sister or when I almost lost my husband or when we thought my son was missing and I was handing over his picture to the police. The impact just won't be that gut wrenching. Does that make sense? That's the personal perspective I'm speaking of when I speak of how I will react to the loss of my T.
