Dolorblindness

The frustration that you'll never be able to understand another person's pain, only, ever searching their face for some faint evocation of it, then rifling through your own experiences for some slapdash comparison wishing you could tell them truthfully, "I know exactly how you feel."

Coined from author and poet, John Koenig

The feeling of seeing them crumble like this, it can only be defined as dolorblindness.
