And to answer your question, I have no idea. I don't think I've had closure with anyone in my life who left or died. There was one therapist, though, who sent me a letter that I still have. I had quit because it was too hard (analysis) and he wrote to affirm what he saw in me, which felt really nice and supportive. But that's not the kind of thing you can ask of another person. They are either moved to do it or not.

The only therapist I actually had termination sessions with, mainly wanted to go over how she had helped me. And then we argued about whether or not the toy she gave me was a cockroach or not. I felt closure of sorts when I threw the thing away a few weeks later. No doubt about it. Cockroach. It felt good to know the truth of it and toss it.
