You sound like you are in a pretty good place and that is inspiring. I am impressed (always have been) by your determination and your attitude. You go down and get back up. There is steel in your soul.
I'm sorry for your losses - and having your therapist retire is just bad timing. But I'm glad you were able to come together and remember the love and support instead of the rupture. Twelve years is a long relationship and it will live inside both of you, even when you don't see each other.
I believe that God puts people in our path that we need for this time in our life. And they walk with us for awhile on our journey but no one goes the whole way with us - not our parents nor our kids or our spouses. Not even our therapists. But who we are is a quilt of all these people - different squares of different colors or textures; our relationships teach us and make us interesting and unique. I think your therapist probably has a big square, somewhere in the middle.
Take good care. I'm glad you are sharing this part of your journey with us. I'd like to think that the Babble square is on your quilt too - multi-colored dots perhaps - but there as a reminder that we care about you and you will always be welcome here - therapist or not.
