The nation honors Sen. John McCain

Speaking at John McCain's memorial service, former Vice President Joe Biden spoke about the disease that took the lives of both McCain and his son Beau Biden.

"The disease that took John's life took our mutual friend's, Teddy, the exact same disease nine years ago, a couple days ago. And three years ago, it took my beautiful son Beau's life," Biden said.

He continued:

"It's brutal. It's relentless. It's unforgiving. And it takes so much from those we love and from the families who love them that in order to survive, we have to remember how they lived, not how they died."

Biden later went on to express solidarity with the family mourning, saying experiencing a loss is, "like being sucked into a black hole inside your chest. It's frightening."

"But, I know something else, unfortunately, from experience, that there's nothing anyone can say or do to ease the pain right now. But I pray, I pray you take some comfort knowing that because you shared John with all of us, your whole life, the world now shares with you in the ache of John's death."
