Hugs...I hope you hear something back from your T. I think it's maybe not just that she's your age, but also that she's a parent? I think that's part of why I was so affected by ex-MC's wife's death almost 2 years ago--She was maybe 7 years older than me and they have two kids (teens), so it hit me harder, because she seemed a peer in that way. It made me think about my own mortality and how it would affect my D and H if something happened to me, or if something happened to H.
