This. Yes, perhaps so. My emotions are haywire right now about my divorce AND my ex's death.
I also have been in my ex's shoes several times in my life. Perhaps I identify with the hopelessness he must have felt. I empathize a lot with him over how awful he must have felt at the time.
Perhaps it's simply just being empathetic to his plight. Or perhaps it's something more.
I am no longer seeing a therapist due to costs, but I have my abuse advocate who functions similar to a therapist. She's supporting me through my divorce right now. I will speak with her on Wed this week again.
