Maybe getting ghosted... how should I proceed?

This time I'm preserving the OP so I don't duplicate post! Here it is.

So I'm terminating with a therapist I had seen before. At the beginning of the summer I asked her if she would be willing to see me just for support over the summer until I could start with someone else, and she said it was okay.

Last week when I told her I was terminating again, she seemed unhappy about it, but I thought maybe she needed a little time (even though I'd brought it up in an email so it's not like I was springing it on her). I know I have been difficult for her. She says I am her most challenging client. She seems to want to Fix The Problem even though that's not what I need from her.

I have been waiting for her to confirm the date and time of our last session, and she is not getting back to me for several days. This is unlike her. She could be sick or something, but I am also wondering if she is just having a hard time being professional about this.

I know it's her job to deal with terminations, but if she can't, then she can't, and that seems more important than "should." I don't want to try and force her just because I want closure and the opportunity to thank her. I know I should ask again for confirmation. But I am wondering if I should just give her an out, just cancel and do my goodbyes over email. Should I?

I'm worried about her and just want to know if I'm overlooking something or would fuck things up more by doing this. I'm expecting to catch a lot of shit for this post, but if anyone can see where I'm coming from and give me some insight, I'd really appreciate it. I'll give her a few more days too.
