Sympathy is feeling the compassion from another person but empathy is putting yourself in there shoes. Both words go together.

Sympathy is a more general feeling or sorrow for another person’s situation.

Empathy is more specific and personal than sympathy. It involves personally putting yourself in that persons shoes and knowing what they are going through.
