Thanks to everyone who has responded, you have given me plenty to think about.

What do I feel I can get from working with her again? Maybe the opportunity to process ex-Ts death properly; something I'm finding impossible to do with current T. It's like the elephant in the room, and I already have far too many of those. Secondly, the fact that she is the T who I worked with for the longest time and knows me really well. Also I suppose I feel like there's unfinished business between us, and maybe getting some explanation / clarification would be a good outcome.

The idea of alternating between the two for a couple of weeks might be a possibility. Or perhaps just knowing that she kept her word about contacting me after all this time is enough, I don't know.

I do agree that worrying about being dumped again could be a huge limiting factor as to whether I could really ever trust her though. Maybe I'll only use her services to deal with the bereavement stuff and see where we go from there.

I know current T won't agree to me working with anyone else simultaneously; so I suppose I could say I'm taking a break just to deal with the bereavement issue, then that leaves the door open with her if I wanted to go back.
