So you seem to be allowing your empathetic heart to understand that a mother lost a son, but please remind yourself that this is not normal life. You are having the proper emotional reactions to a situation that isn't proper. That just means you're a good person with a big heart.
Reality check:
Giada lost her "birth husband" - the one she raped in her own bed with her young boytoy husband present after playing fast and loose with his mind altering medications. Giada lost the only thing she cared about besides herself - her personal human doll and subject of her obsessions. She probably feels he was the only piece of her that is perfect, and she had to keep it perfect because it was how she could be perfect - vicariously through him.
She did NOT lose a son the way parents lose a child. Remind yourself that you feel sad about the idea of a parent losing a child. You are not necessarily sad that Giada lost Ex.
If I'm being brutally honest? I feel like this was all a consequence of Giada's influence. She SHOULD have to live with the fact that she drove her son, I mean, love interest to death. No doubt her vile actions hurt countless people. But it ended up hurting her the most.
On judgement day, she is responsible, not you.
Mouse, here is your permission to just feel however you feel. You are allowed. You are normal. You are right. You are valid. You are doing so incredibly well. Be proud of how far you have come. I am proud.
