It's frustrating that we have spent so much time on her stuff lately.
I don't know how to talk about the ongoing impact of Steve's death, or my inability to say his name...and I could do with support in figuring that out.
Now I feel like I am on a deadline for therapy, in terms of how much I can process before the switch...

Taking grief at your own pace is absolutely vital. If saying his name feels too raw right now, honour that boundary. That honesty gives them a clear signal of where you’re at emotionally, without forcing you into discomfort.
Maybe it was just my own rebellious nature, but why does she have all the control about the upcoming summer break? Perhaps you could set your own deadline for what worked for you. If it was a co-created plan it might sit better with the switch.
