Thanks, LT.

You make some excellent points.

What I'm struggling with already feels raw, and now it feels like she's opted out of the conversation.

There is no easy way to talk about this layer virtually, so although I will gauge it as I go...it's unlikely to be an environment conducive to grief work.

The timing is beyond awful - yes, I know that the summer holidays happen, but it seems odd to make a decision that will have such an impact on the people who rely on your support professionally.
