Part of our Grief & Bereavement Literacy ECHO Series
Front-line nurses, and clinicians, carry the weight of repeated loss — sitting with patients in their final moments, then moving immediately to the next urgent task. Research in hospice and palliative care shows this cumulative, often unacknowledged grief impacts our emotional health, our relationships with patients, and our ability to sustain compassionate care over time. This session will weave clinical narratives with current evidence to explore how we can name, honor, and address professional grief — and why policy change, including bereavement leave reform, is essential to protect the wellbeing of care providers.
