Question about English (US)
I want to send some words to a friend of mine who recently lost her rabbit Mugi-chan. Would you check and correct my English below?
“I saw your posts of Mugi-chan on Instagram and I’m really moved by what they showed.
Some of them were so heartbreakingly to me I could barely glance.
I admired what you have done for her. I can see how deeply you loved and will love her from those pictures. I believe she was very lucky and happy to be with you. “

Why can’t it be “glance”? How is it better to use “look” than “glance”?

@masatsgu_mori It felt weird so I changed it. It's not grammatically incorrect.

Your writing is very good and only needs a few small changes.
Sentence 1 -- perfect
Sentence 2 change "heartbreakingly" to "heartbreaking"
Sentence 3 change "admired" to "admire"
Sentence 4 change "will love" to "will continue to love"
Sentence 5 -- perfect
You have written a very kind and heartfelt note to your friend.
I am sure it will mean a lot to her.

@Bakuhan you are saying you think “could barely look” is commonly used than “could barely glance” so it sounds more natural? If so I believe I should change it.
