ABSTRACT
When you think of the word “grieving,” what words come to your mind? Sadness, sorrow, fear, tears, loss, growth, love, pain, hurt. … If you work in hospice or you work with dying patients or with the elderly, as I do, so often people ask, “Isn’t your work depressing?” What does that say to you? It’s really a persons way of saying “I’m afraid, I’m really afraid of what you do, so your work must be depressing.”
