I'm so glad you have more information. Even though it certainly wasn't what you wanted to hear (your poor T!), sometimes knowing the facts is easier to deal with than all the scary things the brain can conjure up.

Sitting with you. I know this is difficult.

Doogie
Thanks for this!

It is very difficult information especially since I don't know if the nature of the concerns are brain injury, broken bones, etc. Right now I am afraid to ask as I am not sure I can handle the worse case scenario.

I received a heartbreaking update. They do not think she will recover but I'd my she does she will not be the same. She has swelling on the brain and can't have surgery. Praying for a miracle.

Thank you all. It seems so unreal. I feel so numb!! Reached out yesterday to psych NP to get meds on board. I spoke to EMDR T today. And praying for a miracle.

It all seems so surreal. So many mixed emotions; so many thoughts and tears.

I do have EMDR T and she is great but so not the same.

All these years T and I have been working on that it is okay to cry and to not have that wall up. All these years she has wanted me to take a little extra of my sleeping pills (I can take up to 200 mg but I take only 100) or take some of my pen anxiety medications and well take my antidepressants. Today I have cried so many years and after talking to psych NP restarted my antidepressants, taken 150 mg of sleep meds, and an anxiety pill all while praying more than I ever have. I don't care if she can never be a T again. I just want her to live a relatively normal life and to say thank you for changing my life.

My head is all over the place between miracles do happen do just maybe she can pull through and I could see her again even if not as a client. Then so think about EMDR T and does this change our work?? We were supposed to be o my doing EMDR work and T was there for everything else. There is so much back history she doesn't know and much about how I tick that she is yet to learn. She knows the major stuff but do I now back up I explain more. Plus how with this all work with my work schedule. I leave work early every other week. Not sure seeing her every other week will be enough right now. But maybe by a miracle T will pull through with obly minor cognitive changes.

I am very sorry that you are grieving such a difficult loss, at least at this time. I hope the best for your T. I just read this morning about the first woman to climb Mt. Everest, only 61 years old, who slipped down her stairs at home and died. I've fallen down my stairs at home but just dislocated my finger. Sometimes it feels like we're all a thread away from tragedy and loss.

I would find it really difficult to negotiate this transition and uncertainty right now. Not knowing what might happen or being in limbo is very hard for me. And to care about someone in the way you do for your T complicates it very much. I understand it is a big struggle for you right now, and I hope it gets easier. Best wishes.
Thanks for this!

Fortunately her SO is open to keeping me updated. Whenever I email him he responds with honesty. I have always said I was blessed with an amazing T. I am also blessed that she found such a great partner.

I'm praying with you. I bet your T would be proud of your strength right now. You've inspired me to email my T just to say thanks for being you.

Awe thank you. When I feel like falling apart I think about what she would say I should try.
