In this episode, Monica and Forrest discuss their own personal stories related to grief, bereavement, sadness - and navigating life amidst these difficult feelings. They discuss their own journeys in showing up for clinic while mourning loss, and strategies they've learned to support others through the grief process. Transference and countertransference are explained and how they pertain to social interactions while grieving, specifically in a clinic environment. The stages of grief are elaborated on, and real life examples are used to normalize the cycles of grief. What is helpful/ not helpful to say to someone after the loss of a family member or friend?  What are some constructive ideas to support someone in their grief?  How does a person show up for work and other daily life activities amidst healing from loss?  These are just a few questions that are discussed in this vulnerable episode. To honour the life of Kerry Greenley, who was incredibly generous and thoughtful, please consider signing up to be an organ donor. It only takes a minute, and many lives may be saved because of it!
