Comparisons don't help anyone, but they're one of the best ways I've found to beat myself up beyond belief, so that I feel even worse. I hope you're not making comparisons, because I don't think they're helpful.
And for what it's worth, I still cry sometimes about my grandmother. She's been dead for more than 24 years -- 8:10 AM, 11 September 1983. I don't think there's anything wrong -- just shows that she left me something lasting, something of value.
Best advice I can offer, is if you're going to compare yourself to anyone, compare yourself to the JayBravestFace you've always wanted to be, and see how you can improve on that. Personally, you're a pretty darn good JBF, if anyone asks me.
Good luck.
