It's normal to be sad, upset, everything when someone you have a deep connection with is leaving. You aren't blaming him. You're expressing your feelings. Feelings he's probably not surprised you have, since you're human.
Why don't you ask him what his facial expression meant, how he felt about what you told him? He'll answer as much as he's comfortable with and it will give you an opening to share your guilt about expressing the depths of your feelings with him.
You're talking about termination not due to you resolving your issues and moving on but due to outside circumstances. This is really difficult and therapists understand this and want to help, so bringing this up is a way to start the process. He might well welcome this.
