46: Professional Grief and the Wilderness of the Soul
Listen now
Description
Join Lis and Mim for a story from a social worker who shares her story of navigating grief, loss, and the practical challenges that arise when someone passes away. Working with a father who is a carer for his adult son, and who also has an end-stage cancer diagnosis, this social worker discusses the balance of logistical and emotional support, as well as processing her own professional grief. This is a rich practice story about the complexities of human work, and how to stay connected with your clients and yourself in the process of doing social work.   Do you have thoughts, want to contribute a story or question for the team, or just say hello?
