Summary
This week your hosts sit down with a licensed social worker and therapist who specializes in grief, Karen Moon, to discuss grief in both their personal lives and the healthcare field. They discuss the magnitude of grief experienced by healthcare workers during the pandemic, and how there is not the luxury of space that allows them to go home and process their emotions. Karen also opens up about her experience with grief that she credits to where she is today, and highlights how we live in a country that doesn’t feel comfortable with grief. She shares how grief needs space, and the different ways healthcare workers experience grief. She shares some practices she recommends to start the healing process, and what it looks like to hold space for grief. She discusses the value of connection as human beings, and Jackie and Danielle both open up about their personal experience with grief and loss.
