My dog had started to violently shake when I cry.

Brand new behavior for my dog of 7 years. It started a week and a half ago after coming down with the flu. Anytime I cry, she shoves her body as close to mine and starts violently shaking. Nothing I do eases her comfort. Not even clearing up my tears, talking sweetly, getting a toy out, or other things to redirect her. How can I fix this? I’m clearly causing her distress. It’s not doable to remove myself and go cry in the bathroom or closet only. She doesn’t react to any of my other emotions like this. Does anyone have ideas of what could be happening? Why this is a new behavior? And how to fix it? Thank you.
