It's a mixture of feelings. I lost a brother a couple of years ago, and I think he's only trying to relate through his own experience, from his ex-fiance passing. I'm grateful that he shares and has empathy towards some of what I'm going through, but at the same time, it's weird and difficult to sit through when he speaks of her. I'm composed when he shares his grief process as he's trying to relate to mine. I may have to sit and reflect on it some more. Thank you for your response.
