Thank you for sharing this!

If you don’t have the emotional capacity to be empathetic, all you have to do is just simply listen. That in and of itself is a form of empathy. Don’t feel like you need to say something to make them feel better. Don’t give easy answers and platitudes. A listening ear and a comforting hug is as healing as any words could ever be.
