Accidental Impacts @accidentalimpac
We're good people who have unintentionally harmed others, in accidents on the roads, at work, or play. Over time we learn our mistakes do not have to define us. accidentalimpacts.org California Joined February 2014-

"we are not inflicting pain by acknowledging someone's voice. It is a gift to show that we know they are suffering. We're not reminding them of a great pain. They don't forget." Mel Lawrenz
82 people will unintentionally kill someone today - once every 18 minutes - may compassion and understanding outweigh persecution and judgment.
Wishing all who have accidentally harmed a warm and rich week. Please know you are more than the worst thing you've ever done. There is hope. There is life after.

Here's something compassionate: reasonstobecheerful.world/india-open-pri…
What would the world look like if we could honestly believe that we are so much more than the worst thing we've ever said/done?
Join our monthly Fellowship group - every 18 minutes someone kills someone accidentally in the U.S. Those who suffer most are likely those who talk about it least.
A nurse, convicted if accidentally administering the wrong drug, is convicted... npr.org/sections/healt… Victim and perpetrator deserve compassion...
Following our first annual board retreat we adopted this by line, how do you like it: we help people who accidentally harm others.
Red Table Talk is featuring this important topic - fb.me/RTT-Unintentio…
My favorite Leonard Cohen lyric: "Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack, a crack in everything That’s how the light gets in."
Today 95 people will accidentally kill someone in the United States. Lord have mercy on those who die, and on those who didn't mean to do it.
From Tara Brach: "Compassion can be described as letting ourselves be touched by the vulnerability and suffering that is within ourselves and all beings. The full flowering of compassion also includes action: Not only do we attune to the presence of suffering, we respond to it."
Have mercy on yesterday, have love for today, and give tomorrow to providence.
"Pain, like love, needs expression. The human mind naturally goes to creative expression: it's the way we're built. We are storytelling creatures. We look to art, and to story, to help us make sense of the world, especially when what's happened makes no sense" (M. Devine, 2017).
"Self-compassion is approaching ourselves, our inner experience with spaciousness, with the quality of allowing which has a quality of gentleness. Instead of our usual tendency to want to get over something...compassion is totally different. Compassion allows." (R Gonzales 2015)
When we want to help someone who's going through a rough time the first step is always validation, validating their feelings of loss and sadness, as a Jewish sage once said: Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Don't try to fix it, try to empathize.
The word for today is that you can make it. No matter what you're facing, what circumstance seems daunting, what darkness seems inevitable, what journey seems unendurable: Humans plan, God laughs, but the universe has conspired to help not harm. Trust. All will be well.
Self-compassion is having the same kind of empathy, concern, and investment in our own well-being as we do with others. Most of us can do much better.

@dvdpeters @VickiWinslow @accidentalimpac Oh I'm so sorry you've had to suffer through that. Finding forgiveness, is of course, the bst way. I'm encouraged to know there are support groups. ❤️
"When we are mindful of our struggles, & respond to ourselves with compassion, kindness, & support in times of difficulty, things start to change... Despite inner & outer imperfections [we] can provide ourselves with the strength needed to thrive" (K. Neff & C. Germer, 2018).

During Easter season, Christians hear a story of how Jesus appeared to the disciples and he didn't take away their problems, he gave them peace in the midst of them. Peace in our pain is what we seek.

Just because we can't fix your grief doesn't mean we're powerless against it.
