I’m sorry things have been difficult for you lately, and I hope that difficulty is now past! With my limited Gaeilge the only word I could think of was brón, so thank you for listing the other terms!

Tùrsachd, cianalas, bròn,... (In Scottish Gàidhlig.) English, by contrast, has just one word for that range of discrete feelings. It isn't a weakness of Gaeilge, but on the contrary a more developed vocabulary. Whether that causes or is the result of more refined distinctions is a moot point.
