It's been an interesting experience for me to experience the loss of my dad and both feel my own grief and also observe it with the lens of a palliative care physician.
I have noticed how healing it has been for me when others bear witness to my pain and also when they bear witness to my dad as a person.
This is how we can best support people who are grieving after someone they love has died: bear witness to the pain or bear witness to the person.
Helping healers heal others and themselves.
