Can empathy ease someone's suffering?

An empathetic person is the one who can be approached easily.  Such people are always open to hearing, understanding and guiding others because they feel for them. 

There are times in life when we face the adversities of life. We may incur a loss, our relationship may fail, or we face disappointment in life. When the heart is full of sorrow and grief, we look for someone who can understand us. If we find an empathetic heart who can listen to us and see from our perspective, we are able to open up and feel relieved by sharing our stories. 

Have empathy towards other people. Empathy can make people feel lighter, give them strength and courage, and reassure them, however tough it may get, that they are not alone.
