Grief and Re(dis)covery

Grief is an emotion that reaches across multiple disciplines in healthcare. In this series we hear from medical students, residents and fellows, physicians, nurses, chaplains and social workers. Writers share their challenges with vulnerability, uncertainty, and emotional exhaustion. Many identify a sense of isolation within the very system they are seeking to support. While not all are confident, they have reached a new grounding after grief, these authors do offer a sense of hope for recovery and rediscovery of the joy in the privilege of the practice of medicine.
