It must have been especially tough since you hadn't been seeing him long. At least I think I feel comfortable enough with my therapist to address those things. We did talk some while his mom was sick about how I felt sad when he felt sad, and how perhaps I was afraid he wouldn't be able to meet my needs (and how it was ok and not "bad" to be afraid of that).
While he does seem distracted at the beginning of a session, he seems to settle down and be able to concentrate during the session. Although we have had a couple of bad sessions lately with misunderstandings that I never did quite understand. Perhaps his stress had something to do with that.
I'll give him a chance to cancel, and try to judge from his tone whether I should insist on cancelling. :)
I'm glad to know that it's normal for me to be worried about this. I never know when I'm overreacting.
