I'm wondering if it feels harder this year because P is gone. I still really miss him. Also he was there when all this stuff happened. I've realized that I don't think I would reach out to my new therapist for support because I'm not sure what she could do that would help. When I reached out to P for support, it felt supportive to hear back from him, like there was someone there for me and it felt good. While I'm sure new T would be there, it doesn't feel the same.

Meant to comment on this before. Hope you got through the day OK.

It makes sense that you wouldn't feel the same level of support from this new T that you would have from P. But maybe in time, you'll be able to feel some support from her, even though it's not the same.
