Toilet - first off sorry for your loss. I'm sure it's tough mourning the change.

I think to some extent it's supposed to feel that way. Jung said it was a process of individuation like a parent raising a child, and at a certain age the child wants to grow up and stand on their own basically. It is a kind of ambivalence really, you both want the security and comfort, and at the same time feel weighed down by it.
I know you know this already, probably from life experience... but you will get over this therapist with time and it will be less sad. You have the option to continue if things ever get so bad
that's something!! Better than being terminated right!
Anyways, congratulations on finishing what sounds like a successful therapy.
