When holding everyone's hard moments leaves you numb to yours

I can walk into any room and hold the hardest conversation there is, steady and warm, again and again. But I've had so many of them that I notice I've gone flat inside. At my own grandmother's bedside last month I said all the right things and felt almost nothing, and that scared me more than the grief would have.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You hold so many hard bedside talks that you've gone numb to your own.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
