No More Sessions With This Client

I had several more sessions with my client, sorting through paperwork, and then weeks later, when I called my client to set up the next appointment, I got no response from either my phone message or an email.

I didn't want her to think I was hounding her, but I was concerned about my client, because we had been meeting a couple times a week for months now.

A few weeks went by, and I emailed her again, being very careful to let her know I was very concerned about her, hoped she and her family were alright, and that I hoped I hadn't done anything to upset her.

Eventually, she emailed me back, and she said that I had not done anything wrong, it had nothing to do with me, that she had something happen in her life that through her off balance. Her note said we would get back to "clutter-busting" soon. I emailed her back and said that I was here for her if she needed me and wished her well.

I never heard from her again.

Truthfully, this was very upsetting for me. I was so surprised at this sudden turn of events. In time, I let it go, but this was a client that would tell me that she wanted me to work with her for a year and then continue even that. So my mindset, my plan, was to see this job through, and I really enjoyed working with her and seeing our progress.  I know my help was appreciated, and I hope the work we did made a positive impact on her home.
