First - Welcome Bexis!Although somewhat different than what you describe here, I also found this site while struggling through a painful part of therapy. Again.. it's good to have you here.

> I'm going through the same thing which led me here. Whenever I start focusing on the negative (e.g. I will never see her again), I try to remember what it is that I discovered with her, learned from the experience, and remember that I will always have that: the discoveries, the experience, and that in this way she's still with me. That's what she gave to me and now I can share this with myself, or another. Someone gave it to her. It's what makes a human. And as I live, that will always be a part of me, just like I will somehow be a part of her. We'll all go on and this is what we can carry with us. It's sad, yes, but it's also incredibly beautiful... it's life! Stop looking back and learn to look forward... there are so many people you can share this with, not just therapists.
