I just found out that my psychiatrist passed away. I had an appointment with him two weeks ago but when I got to his office, there was a note on the door saying that he was away, due to illness. Didn’t think much of it (other than being annoyed that he didn’t call to tell me, which I feel bad about now), called his office when I got home to reschedule but didn’t hear anything back. Called again today and the message said that his practice has been shut down for good. Got a really bad feeling so I googled him. He passed away suddenly last Wednesday, he was only in his 40’s and I thought in good health. I’ve been seeing him for the last 10 years, and I’m tearing right now. He was a great doctor, and a great man. I guess I’m just in shock because it was so totally sudden.
