As many know I faced this issue when my therapiat had a tragic accident in her home.. Her partner reached out to me because he found my email address. Her records where very vague but he figured out i was a client. He reached out to tell me initally that she was in a bad accident and would be out for a while. He and I communicated for a few days. Then be told me she passed. By this point he realized who I was. We had met a few times but she introduced me as a friend. He knew that she and I had a special relationship. I asked about a funeral. They were having a celebration of life at a restaurant and her clients were welcome to attend. Ts clients were very important to her and she would want us to be able to attend the gather as part of the grief process. My husband and I attended. Her family was amazing...She Had talked about her son over the years we worked together so I felt like I knew him.

At one point people got up to talk about here..I refrained from doing so because I was a mess. Another client did get up and spoke about her work with T and how amazing T was.

I am thankful to have been able to attend.
