I'm so sorry for your loss. My last therapist didn't die, but he suddenly and unexpectedly had to quit his practice due to severe Parkinson's-related dementia. I didn't get to see him for our last scheduled appt before he left, either. I am grieving as if he did die. The one I saw prior to him died of a brain tumor, and I had been told he was doing well with his treatment. It was a horrendous shock. My heart goes out to you.
I personally decided to continue therapy, because I still had unresolved issues I had sought therapy for in the first place, and I needed the support to work through my grief. I would suggest not making a drastic decision at this point in time. Maybe give a new T a trial run, say 3 months or so?
Sending you lots of hugs and support.
