Losing any loved one, let alone a child, is no easy burden to bear which is why Teresa Giudice feels for Federal Judge Ester Salas.

"The Real Housewives of New Jersey'" star's lawyer, James Leonard, shared that Teresa is "devastated" by the recent news that Salas' 20-year-old son, Daniel Anderl, died after being shot by a man disguised as a FedEx driver, TMZ reports.

Teresa's grievances for Salas are in spite of the fact that she was the New Jersey judge who sent the reality TV personality and her husband, Joe Giudice, to jail. The two aren't buddy-buddy though, as Leonard notes that the "RHONJ" star would not likely attend the funeral services.

"Knowing Teresa the way I do, I think if she were to have an opportunity to see Judge Salas, I think she would hug her and pray with her," Leonard said. "This is such a horrific tragedy, I know that the entire legal community is shocked and devastated and praying for Judge Salas and her family."

Salas' husband, Mark Anderl, was shot in the incident and was in critical but stable condition Monday after undergoing surgery at New Brunswick’s Robert Wood Johnson Hospital.

Salas was unharmed.
