Sad News

I got a phone call today that set me back a bit. My therapist of over 15 years called to tell me that she has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and it is spreading fast. She will be closing her practice and spending time with family. This news is devastating and I have spent most of the day crying and picking. I am left with pink spots that have me feeling ashamed of myself. The one person that I rely on for support and guidance is no longer going to be there for me, and that scares the life out of me. I am also feeling so many emotions about this news because she has been not only my therapist.but has also become my friend. I see her weekly and she has helped me so much. I just need to get some insight or support this evening during this difficult times. I have not done too much damage to my face yet, but those pink marks could easily turn into red ones if I let myself fall into that trance again.
