Hello AlimaeHP from long time ago. There is a word that comes close to what you might mean, but not directly in connection with the verb 'view'. I doubt if there are single words that express viewing whatsoever anything at all. Commiserate may be a synonym of empathy but more specifically focussed on sorrow, misery. I hope you regained your health and would like to wish all old friends a good december season. But...the lot of them it seems have (or is it has?) left this place for good.

commiserate
v.tr.
To feel or express sorrow or pity for; sympathize with.
v.intr.
To feel or express sympathy: commiserated over their failure.
