Shar, you're looking at it the wrong way. This is AMAZING! You're at a point in your life where you are strong enough to not only contemplate ending the sessions, but to actually being doing it. Go girl! You should be so proud of yourself for making it all this way, for being at a point where you have made this decision. This is a SUPERB thing. This isn't a loss - you have gained, you have gained courage, and strength, and independence, and the belief in yourself to do it alone.
It's not even a loss of this person. If things ever get that bad, you can go back. You can come back to T if you need it. Be so so happy that you don't need this right now, even if you do want it.
I know none of that will make it any easier. But at least you know I'm listening, and I'm sorry that you feel this way. Loss is horrible. It perhaps is a loss, a death, but a death of that despairing, horrid time in your life, which is a death worth celebrating.
