Andy Bradley - Closing the Compassion Gap

How can we close the compassion gap to make the world a kinder place? The question that has given me purpose and drive for 18 years and counting

[Brigid Russell @brigidrussell51]

If we listen to each other & make sure we all feel heard in our work together, then perhaps we won't need to contrive engagement processes & formalise our interactions so much. We can be people who talk together as equals, who understand & value each other's contributions fully.

An insightful, inspiring and encouraging letter to shame written by Andy Bradley.

A read that foments self-reflection, encouraging the acknowledgment of ourselves and others with greater compassion.

[Simon Sinek @simonsinek]

When in doubt, be yourself.

[Brigid Russell @brigidrussell51]

When I feel a bit crap in a moment, it's in being heard & connecting with someone who listens that I can step more lightly into the next moment. It's not about being sorted out or found an answer. Feeling simply listened to, that helps lighten the load. And it's enough just now.

@brigidrussell51 Good morning Brigid, bless you - my dear friend Anna has written beautifully about her life with her soul mate Fran and his untimely death. I would love to post you a copy of her profound book please - https://t.co/YYBUEnIiwq Please DM postal address

[Brigid Russell @brigidrussell51]

Sometimes the solitude of grief is bewildering. A feeling of being cut adrift from all that I knew, from feeling understood, & being at ease. No place to go, no safe harbour. But it's not a place I miss, it's the relationship with the one person in my life who knew me completely.

[Andy Bradley - Closing the Compassion Gap @CareSpace20]

@brigidrussell51 Thank you Brigid - the elusive sweet spot of contentment for me is the space where joy and melancholy co-exist. Life and death are both tragic and comic @johnwalsh88 @charlie_psych

[Brigid Russell @brigidrussell51]

Don't look too hard for the break in the clouds. Trust instead that blue skies will appear, passing by, & be so much brighter for being unexpected, edged by grey. It's not one or other, it's both. Love, despair. Sadness, joy. The one shapes the other, and keeps hope alive & real.
