Scenario

When couples work together in end-of-life care

My partner and I are both nurses in the same comfort care unit and we bring the heaviness of our patients' deaths home with us, but we don't know how to comfort each other without just amplifying the sadness we're both already carrying.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are trying to be each other's refuge from shared professional trauma while simultaneously being each other's reminder of it.
