Fellow-feeling in time of trouble (8)
I believe the answer is:
sympathy
'fellow-feeling in time of trouble' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for sympathy that I've seen before include "often offered with tea" , "Fellow-feeling in time of grief" , "Accord" , "Feeling like another" , "Understanding for the suffering of others" .)
