It was the end of January. I was having to leave therapy due to a move for what I thought would be forever. I wasn't ready for that. I asked my T to bring in something that belonged to her, a pen from her desk or a photograph or something. I was terrified to ask her, but felt I really needed something. As soon as the words were out of my mouth, she said she would and that she thought it was a great idea. We both have collections of a specific animal. She brought me a piece from hers and even had it wrapped for me.
The last session we had was hard. I was beside myself with grief. I cried almost the whole session, barely about to speak. I had hugged her at the end of tough sessions before, but this time I went to hug her and she held me for a long time and when I finally pulled away, she reached up, put her palm against my cheek, looked into my eyes, and said, "Be Well." That's what carried me through the three months break we had before I found a way to get back.
