Edited by internationally recognized practitioners of supportive care medicine and grief counseling, these are unflinching, first-person narratives of authors walking in their own shoes. The narratives reveal losses of cherished loved ones, integrity, dreams, naïve views of colleagues, and the lack of institutional support for these inevitable experiences. Although the narrators are well-established leaders in their fields, serious loss brought each back to the exposed core of their most basic selves. They learned that the professional veneer was too thin to be instructive or protective. Readers might resonate with their own painful experiences and memories, and others might wonder how they will imagine their own future when these inevitable aspects of being human-loss and grief-strike them, too. In Loss and Grief, it is our hope that such openly shared feelings of isolation and suffering will humanize the loss experience, ignite prospective discussions, and illuminate opportunities for education, research and interventions to prepare us for multiple loss experiences endemic to life.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 154mmItem Width: 13mmContributor: Matthew Loscalzo (Edited by), Marshall Forstein (Edited by), Linda Klein (With)Genre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, MedicineItem Weight: 390gAuthor: No AuthorRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
