Yes - And a coalescence of many factors in an interconnectedness over
some period of time.

You are right about this.

If it were me, I would want to give them a piece of my peace, from
the bottom of my being. It is such a humbling honor to have someone
(whether teacher, guru, psychotherapist, yogi, etc) take us under
their wings for that transition and nurture us... I would feel such
gratitude - such a profound debt of gratitude.

There is one I would want to thank so very much, myself, but it seems
as though that one wouldn't want my thanks or recognition - or
perhaps I just don't know what the proper protocol would be here. I
mean, there don't seem to be any Hallmark Cards that say 'Dear
Beloved Teacher/Guru, I thank you from my root chakra...' If you get
my drift.

How did you handle it, yourself? I hope that's not too intrusive a
question.
