Compassion, long seen as the foundation of ethical caring, is increasingly understood as a threat to the wellbeing of those who offer it.Through the lens of hermeneutic phenomenology, the authors present an insiders perspective on compassion fatigue, its effects on the body, on the experience of time and space, and on personal and professional relationships. Accounts of health professionals, alongside examinations of poetry, images, movies, and literature, are used to explore the notions of compassion, hope, and hopelessness as they inform the meaning of caring work. The authors frame their expos of compassion fatigue with the very Canadian metaphor of lying down in the snow. If suffering is imagined as everfalling snow, then the need for training and resources for safe journeying in winter country becomes apparent. Recognizing the phenomenon of compassion fatigue reveals the role that health services education and the moral habitability of our healthcare environments play in supporting professionals ability to act compassionately and to endure.
