T set retirement date - orek - 10-29-2012
She'll retire at end of next year--which sounds like a long time, but it' not. If we had 2-3 more years with her, we could finish with the trauma work, the bulk of it. We won't finish in a year. We were just getting to some hard realities of who else abused us, etc. So many inside who haven't told their stories yet, etc. I know each doesn't have to, but there's more to tell.
We're having a hard time with this, hard not to just shut down and give up. The grief is unbearable. This sucks. It took so long to build trust and a safe space with her because of past bad experiences. Don't know if have the energy to start over with someone else, so we'll see how far we get, I guess. We were lucky to have her, and lucky she didn't retire sooner. But it still hurts.

Oh Orek I am so very sorry!!!!!! I can't even imagine. Will she maybe just keep you guys on until you are done? Are you able to ask her? That might be a risk you need to take.
Sitting with you.

No, that's not an option--I know from discussions about it over the years. Good chance she'll be retiring to her favorite overseas location, and there are other factors. No, I can't see that happening, but thanks for the thought and for responding and commiserating.
Maybe Davis will be able to talk about it some on Street. She feels more pissed than she's letting on, and none of us want to risk alienating our T by letting her express it! So maybe on Street one of these days....
