Beautiful.

When one feels a loss, it is not only due to a physical separation but also from an emotional separation.  Emotional separations can be felt before the physical separations occur.  Also, one feels a loss because of a loss of potential.  Potential times together that are significant.  Whether a loss of a parent, of a friend, or of a child.  The inability of being with that person for significant times.  Whether past getting togethers were significant or contentious, we always have hope that there will be significant times together in the future.  We always have hope.  Unless we experience a loss which will rob us of that hope.

I’m sure she will do well, and so will you.  Just remember that the strength you will need to meet this loss, and to prevent yourself from getting stuck in this loss, will come from within yourself – not from anyone else, and not from some supernatural, beneficient creature.

And remember:  It’s okay to feel a loss, and to feel the loss of a person’s presence, and to feel the loss of a hope for future sessions together (even just for a short time).  The secret is to not get stuck in that loss.
