Empathy means to me compassion for someone who is experiencing great pain or sadness. It means to be able to offer comfort, and solace in a real and meaningful manner. an empatheitc person is not going to judge, or put you down. They offer kind words and tenderness when needed the most. It is to be able to understand and feel what anther person is feeling.
