He spoke to me on a level where he was able to empathize with what this experience
We were faced with the difficult situation of a family member facing stage 4 cancer. I stayed overnight when we made our final decision to let our Dad go in peace. I held on to a lot of thoughts of what I could have done. I couldn't let this go but I had a solid answer that I would stick it out. I got ready to go outside to get some air, saw Vincent, and talked to him. He helped me come to terms with things and was very understanding and supportive. He spoke to me on a level where he was able to empathize with what this experience was like and really talked to me like a friend and not just like someone who worked in a hospital.
