How do you deal with this unique kind if grief? I lost a therapist a few months ago that meant everything in the world to me who promised she would always be there. We had a dual role so I am also grieving that as well and confused at how someone who spent birthdays with me, gave me several expensive gifts, helped redecorate my house, spent countless hours together doing crafts could just leave me in the dust. I have processed this in therapy and I have written her a letter. I just don’t know how to move on without closure (we didn’t have any termination sessions) and live with such intense grief.

How did others who lost therapists all of sudden cope and move on from it?
