Hey, Has anyone here who has been in therapy long term and had to say goodbye to their therapist because of retirement had a positive ending with them? I'd love to hear some.

My therapist of 8 years is retiring next year which I'm finding difficult. I know i'll be fine but I very attached to her so the idea of it is painful. I'm even wondering if it might now be better to finish sooner before the end of the year rather than dragging it out until next year. Would love to hear anyone who has experienced saying good bye to their long term T.
