Grief and Cancer Care

Grief is a common emotion felt by individuals touched by cancer.  It’s a complex response to significant loss, often involving sadness, shock, anger, denial and other feelings as a person attempts to cope with a cancer diagnosis, news of disease progression, an unwelcomed treatment side effect, or I think even the anticipation of missing milestones like graduations or weddings that are far in the future but already close to ones’ heart.  Joining us today is licensed clinical social worker and cancer care expert, Paige Soleimani, here to talk with us about cancer related grief, how to cope and when to seek professional help.
