That's a tough one but I think you have to decide for yourself whether to let go of this book or continue on. I have a hard time with movies, don't like going to the theater versus home because I can't change the channel or get up and go away, etc. :-) Emotion like that is hard for me too. I even skip pages in books when I am afraid of a scene; maybe you could try that a little? Skip 4-5+ pages until a tough description is over?
