Girlfriends ex died and she’s really upset

My girlfriend and I have been together for 2 years.

She and her ex were together for 6 years.

We found out last week that his drinking had finally taken its toll, and he was in the hospital with liver failure.

This man’s girlfriend was devastated by the death of her ex.

He died this morning, and she is pretty devastated.

She says she’s fine, but is currently crying in the shower, and I can’t help but feel weird about it.

It’s like she hadn’t moved on or still has feelings for him.

He never liked her ex.

I never liked this guy.

Even in high school, he was a jerk, and he wasn’t great to my girlfriend or her daughter.

That being said, it’s sad he died at such a young age of 35.

He felt unsure of how to handle the situation.

I guess my question is, am I being awful for having these feelings?

Are they just my insecurities coming through?

Or do you think she wasn’t over this guy?

I’m not sure how to approach this with my girlfriend.

Should I just try to be supportive and help her through this at this point?
