May trigger, for some.

I am not in the space in my mind to go into it, with any....detail. Simply going through the motions. I lost my beloved adult child to suicide. There is so much I could say but my point of this post is right now....what is the most appropriate way of informing a therapist.

I'm very sorry to hear this.
In terms of letting your therapist know - you could phone them and tell them, if you feel up to it, or leave a voicemail? Or if you don't feel up to speaking to your therapist right now, perhaps you have someone else, friend or family member perhaps, who could do this for you?
When I had a recent and sudden bereavement I texted my therapist what had happened and then he called me straight back.
Wishing you all the best.

Is this your child's therapist? I would simply call and leave a voicemail, either with the news or a number at which they can reach you.

I'm so, so sorry, FairyFloss. I think the most appropriate way to tell a therapist is to tell them however you are most comfortable telling them. Phone call, email, or whatever way you can muster the strength to do. You have my heartfelt condolences.

I'm so sorry too. It may be beneficial for you to make an appt with your child's t to tell them. You have a mutual loss even though it likely affects you far more. Otherwise a phone call is appropriate. Take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I agree that whatever method is easiest for you to tell them makes sense--and then maybe consider having an appointment with the therapist later, if you think it might be helpful.
