I feel for you Therapygirl, 24 years is a long time, it is a death in some way, a death of the person she used to be before her husband died. I can really relate to that. It's so hard for you but I hope you get help to get you through this time when she is retiring, plus she is not herself due to her own mourning process.
Obviously, she did not or could not realize how it has affected her practice so continued on. Maybe she needed the income up to retirement, who knows.
But the fact is, no she is not the same person. Remember it is not you, or anything you've done. It is her own circumstances that have caused her to feel like this. And being human, as we all are, sometimes even the best of training can't help one deal with a major crisis like the death of spouse.
Hopefully you can find a second T to help you through this maybe?
