For what it is worth, my person very much wanted to do her job and did it up until a week before her death. She did not want to always be focused on herself - work gave her the ability to not think about her illness for awhile. So if the therapist is still working, I would urge you to at least consider that for her, working is quite useful and your worries that your problems are not that big of a deal in comparison is not where her focus lies.
