Hi Sarah,

I'm sorry your relationship with her has come to an end. It's sad to read about her misfortune. At the same time, i think it was kind of her to share that with you. Maybe she shared as to not be rejecting? Or as a point of connection? I think ending a relationship can involve connection, too. Like connecting on a positive note (sharing) for the ending.

Personally, I know my limitations when I'm hurting a lot, struggling with life's burdens. It's too difficult to be in relationships where the other person needs me for support. At those times, I can't even address my own needs, so I avoid the relationships as to not hurt others.

My thoughts are to see if you can take the best from your therapy, from the relationship with her, and somehow use that as a seed from which to grow. I've seen you be strong-maybe you can find something from it to build upon.
