Former Vice President Joe Biden almost offered his phone number out on live television Friday.

In an emotional coronavirus-related question, Biden urged Americans to call loved ones and people they knew to help get through times of grief.

“My message is, God loves you. You know, I’ve lost a couple of children. I’ve lost a wife. And it is incredibly difficult to go through. And it’s harder to go through when you haven’t had an opportunity to be with the person while they’re dying,” Biden said, briefly choking up during a CNN town hall.

“Seek help afterward. Seek help. Talk to people who have been through it so they know, they know they can tell you that you can get through it,” Biden continued. “And when you don’t have it, you’ve got to get help. And, by the way call … I’m not going to give my phone. But anyway, those who have been through that, you can contact my campaign. I’m happy to try to talk to you. Not that I’m an expert but just having been there, I’m so sorry for you.”

Biden appeared at the town hall through a virtual hook up from his home in Wilmington, Delaware, where he has been quarantining himself during the pandemic.
