10 Tips to Navigate Global Grief
Yvonne Heath has been an RN since 1988 and has worked in 10 different hospitals, in departments from emergency and intensive care to chemotherapy, palliative care and hospice. In her nursing career, Yvonne witnessed our grief-phobic society, and how our reluctance to talk about, plan and prepare for grief, death and dying causes excessive suffering personally, professionally and at the end of life.
When we learn to talk about and plan for grief and life’s challenges, something amazing happens. We live more fully and we suffer less at the end of our life. Our loved ones and workplaces suffer less and are able to move through their grief.
That heavy, tearful feeling you’ve had since March? It’s grief. The pandemic has caused the collective loss of the world as we knew it. The loss of normal. The loss of physical connection. The loss of routine. The loss of work. The loss of gathering for meals. The loss of bedside vigils. The loss of gathering to mourn. All of these losses are valid; the worst loss is always your own loss.
Join us at the AHPCA Virtual Roadshow for some help to navigating this global grief.[+] Show More
