14 Patients in 14 Days

There are always waves in end of life work. In hospice work, we know going in, that someone is going to die. But not everyone understands what that really looks like. Sometimes, people think they want to work in hospice but the emotional costs turn out to be too high. I guess I was lucky. I came to it because it had come to me in the most magical way when I was given the gift of bearing witness to my mom’s death in 2000. As a result I know I came to hospice with an incredibly high bar for what it can be like. But I was not prepared for what it feels like when a wave crested that was actually a tidal wave and we found ourselves literally running from one death to the next.Thank you for listening to Where the Veil Grows Thin.  You can always get these  wherever you get your podcasts or for more information, visit seanjeung.com.
