To offer a bit of balance, I do agree with Merecat; we cannot know why she has left the job. Perhaps she was under financial pressure and had to take a full time role, and once you are offered a job, oftentimes you aren't given a lot of choice about how long you have before the starting date. It seems obvious the that she never intended to hurt you. And while you have every right to question her commitment, it seems to me that seeing clients for as long as 12 years does show commitment to you. Not many of us on this board have been lucky enough to have such consistent treatment for so long.
I hope the termination can be a positive one, not least because I think it will make the grieving process easier for you to know things ended well. Also, might it not at least be worth asking T about possible referrals? You don't have to take them, but at least the option would be open and the referrals we be selected just for you, by somebody who knows you very well.
I so sorry you are facing such a loss, and wishing you well for the road ahead.

It has not been a consistent thing for 12 years. I started seeing her 12 years ago and had breaks. The first one she got pregnant and was gone awhile, then she got a serious illness and was gone for almost a year then when she came back from that she got pregnant again and Left for months so I quit (I did not have attachment or transference then) therapy because I could not take the inconsistency. I then decided to start seeing her again.
