Terminating is so hard. The anxiety of having your safety net removed is awful. I don't think it's possible to do it without some pain. Maintaining a connection with your feelings should help some.
Part of being soothed is allowing other people in a little, I think. Let your friends save your day, just like you've saved the day for them. And also take care of yourself: be your own warm shawls and soft socks, and make soup for yourself and make sure you look after yourself.
Terminating takes courage, but you have what it takes. And we'll all be here for you when it's hurting.

I'll be thinking of you.
