Compassion is letting a person pour out their heart to you and responding as best as you can. It can be a hug or calling them up on a rainy day to take them out or invite them over for coffee just to talk. Compassion is being a lifeline to someone in need. Compassion is letting that person pull you down into their sorrow and rising up out of it together. Compassion is figuring out a way to help that person come out of a bad situation. Compassion is in just being there for someone in need, crying along with them if they need it.
