Considering leaving my job

I'm just looking for some options on the above really.

Since I started my current job I've had a tidal wave of horrible life events happen in my personal life that has really taken a toll on me. Anything from death, serious car accidents, cancer, relationship breakdown. It feels like a you name it I've lived it situation.
Things are good at work but I struggle because anything I do there or anywhere I go I'm in the rooms where I hear about X happening or where Y rang to give me some bad news, for example. (You know how you remember where you were when the Queen died?)
I want to be clear apart from standard and inconsequential things at work, work isn't bad. It's the actual building that I'm associating with the horrible things happening, but they didn't happen there.

I really don't think I'm explaining myself well at all! But, is that grounds to leave a job? I know that either this just sounds silly or it's obvious I can leave if I want to but I'm just looking for some friendly advice.

So sorry you have been through such a hard time

Are there any positives to the work place ?

Was anyone particularly supportive ?

Is work a good distraction from you having a lot of time to dwell on past events ?

Do you have another job to go to ?

Again , hope you are ok 💐
