Personal Loss: Cumulative Loss in the Age of COVID-19
Caring for patients and their families at the end of life means that health care professionals are constantly in the presence of loss. Although we use strategies to remain professional and mitigate the impact of loss, it can have a cumulative effect. In addition, the overwhelming influence of COVID-19 has had an effect on our personal and professional lives through unwelcomed limitations, numerous changes and overall stress. The result shows higher levels of compassion fatigue for health care workers. This session provides opportunities for personal reflection and participation, offering new insights and practical ways to adjust and adapt to loss.
