Consciousness Weekly | Contemplation Starts Where Knowledge Stops
Bad News
Hey all! This is a question I’ve been working on recently and I want to stir a good conversation: What’s the best and most merciful way to give bad news? By extension, what is bad news? Does the nature of delivery change based on circumstances? Should bad news ever be withheld? Are there circumstances in which it must be given? How can it be done most mercifully? Does that change based on the giver or receiver of the news? Is timing important? Is timing more important than immediacy? Is one more wrong or right than the other? Genuinely don’t know and excited to see what anyone comes up with! I hope this is a question worthy of your time. - Chris

@Chris OMara Nice questions. From my experience it's never easy, but a few things help when giving bad news: - Help the person brace up in advance by telling them that bad news are coming. People handle pain much better when they know it's coming. Don't surprise them with it - Be honest and compassionate - Don't dance around it once they're braced up - Hold the space open for an interaction to occur and be there to have it. Don't just dump and run These are things I've noticed working better than other stuff though. Tactics of sorts. Haven't contemplated the nature of 'bad news' yet.

Have a look around the Classroom: https://www.skool.com/not-knowing/classroom “Increasing consciousness is the most important pursuit any human can undertake. Generally, people are stuck in a great deal of false realities that produce struggle, suffering, and discontent. Increasing consciousness frees us from this falsely limited world so we can access greater freedom and happiness, not to mention gain more effectiveness and creativity. Becoming more conscious takes investigation, learning, and contemplation. We provide these tools and support.” — Peter Ralston
