While many sociologists have conceptualised medical and experiential modes of knowing health and illness, less attention has been given to the concept of empathetic knowledge. That is, knowledge derived from close association with others living with a particular condition. This article investigates empathetic modes of knowing among families marked by illness, drawing on 52 h of video recordings of support group sessions for children of parents with mental illness in Denmark and interviews with 11 participating children. Inspired by the sociology of empathy, the analysis shows that empathetic knowledge involves knowing illness from the outside (through observations of the ill person's body) and from the inside (through the affective impressions left on the next of kin's own body). This empathetic knowledge is relational, bodily and affective, and, together with other ways of knowing, it shapes everyday lives and projects imagined futures. The article demonstrates that the concept of empathetic knowledge can advance our sociological understandings of next of kin
