My friend Riss just lost her cousin. So I imagined what she is going through. So I put myself in her shoes. That must be hard. I felt sad because if I lost my cousin that would be the worst. We are very close just like my friend and her cousin. I feel really sorry for her. Empathy is when a feeling is shared, or when some one feels sympathy for some one and puts them self in the other persons place in the time being, whether its sad or anger.
