Devastated

[orek]

Oh man. We just lost our T of 9 years to retirement in August, and that was hard enough. Still is. But we know she's still "out there" and that we can contact her via email--as long as it doesn't interfere with connecting and bonding with our new T. I can't imagine the devastating ripple effect if we lost her to cancer instead. I am so so sorry.

I like the poem suggestion, if you have any writers and find comfort in that. When we lost our sister, we spent a whole year obsessively working on a poem for her. It helped siphon off some of the enormous grief so that we could function. I'm glad you have another T that you are somewhat familiar with and that gets DID--and, even more importantly, that your old T has confidence in for furthering your healing.

Take gentle care. I hope you all find ways to comfort and support each other during this awful loss.
