Trying to Imagine

He tries to help me with what I'm going through by imagining what it would be like for him to go through what I'm going through. But this is different from imagining being me, going through what I'm going through. Which would be difficult for anyone to imagine. It would have been difficult even for me to imagine what it would be like for me, what I would be like, before going through what I'm going through. This means that even for him to imagine what it would be like for him to go through what I'm going through, now that he isn't going through it, would be difficult, let alone for him to imagine what it's like for me. So any advice he can think of only fits with what he imagines he would need, which is probably not the same as what he would really need, and which he also assumes is the same as what I would need, when going through what I'm going through.
