      1. @hearpaulroar Thankies, but empathy is more useful. I can handle myself, sadness isn't forever.

        1. @whiterose I think Empathy means more like, I can understand what you are feeling, rather than I just wish you didnt' have to feel it? I don't really know the difference. I just hope you can smile, either now or soon or whenever you are ready.

          1. @hearpaulroar @whiterose Empathy tries to understand and relate while sympathy does nothing but feel sorry for, which accomplishes nothing. Yeah you are right about empathy :)

            1. @whiterose I'd love to try and understand, but I have never experienced the death of someone close to me and I have no idea how I would feel.
