My seller is getting cold feet. How do I keep them in the deal?

I have a house under contract from a motivated seller.  It is the house the seller grew up in and his parents have since died. He is not emotionally tied to the house but has been sitting on it because his brother and aunt are.  He finally decided to sell the house we put it under contract. We have all our bids in and are past the option period. He called me today asking if there was anyway I would let him out of the contract because his family is making life hell for him and he feels horrible.  Legally, he is bound to the contract. My question is have you had this happen before and what sort of comfort did you provide or how did you respond to the seller?
