I Have Scars and Cuts That Tell a Story

My friend and I are writing about our lives. This evening we exchanged a few heartbreaking stories leaving me feeling particularly emotional. Although we've known each other for a while, she had no idea about what I shared and was so sad. Although this evening, I began writing about it, I can't help but feel like crying. I'm wondering how do writers cover such painful material?

For me, it has the opposite effect when I write about things that were particularly painful it is kind of like therapy and helps a lot even if it helps me by making me cry the entire time I am writing it.
