Caeti,

It sounds like it is standard procedure when someone hasn't been in for a while. While I do think a phone call or email would have been appropriate to check up and see if you were planning to return, I think all you need to do is phone and explain why you've been away and that you are not wanting to terminate at this time.

I'm sorry that you were caught so off guard by the letter. I hope you get everything straightened out with your T. I'm also sorry to hear about the death in the family. (((hugs)))

I agree...it sounds like all you need to do is call and clarify, that you are not ready to terminate at this time, and in fact, wnat to schedule an appointment...I'm certain you will be accomodated, if you just explain clearly, that you do not wish to terminate, and want to schedule.

Good luck, Caeti..nice to see you posting! Let us know how it goes!
