Wow, 7 weeks is a very long time. I can understand why you would feel abandoned, and I can also understand why you would think you could handle ending! It must seem like an eternity!

However, I would take her up on her offer to email in order to stay connected. I really struggle when my T leaves. We have worked on ways for me to cope in his absence. Sometimes he gives me something from his office to keep for him while he is away. Once he gave me a book he likes so we could discuss it when he returned. Another time I journaled about how hard it was while he was gone for us to discuss.

And while he is gone, it's distraction, distraction, distraction! It's the only time my house gets a thorough cleaning!

I really feel for you.
