When my therapist was gone and I wasn't sure what would happen, he promised that we could keep in contact by email.
Yet I discovered I was a lot better not hearing from him. No matter how much it hurt and how much I thought about him, I would achieve enough equilibrium to go about my life. Every time I wrote to him, or every time I heard from him, that equilibrium was shaken and I'd fall apart.
It sounds as if she's very firm in what she can and can't offer you. If you think contacting her would bring peace in the relationship it might be worthwhile. But I'd think it through first. My experience is that once the message is sent, my whole being would be focused on wondering about the response. And once the response came, I'd be caught up in the disappointment of it not being what I would like. Overall, for me, it wasn't worth it.
