Eric. Thank you for sharing this deep personal reflection on the double-edged sword of empathy. It is both a bridge that connects us to others in a profound way and a weight that can become too heavy to carry. Occasional withdrawal is not a lack of caring, when in reality, it is a desperate attempt to stay afloat in a sea of shared sorrow.

Well said. Sometimes that sea gets rough.
Yes it does.
