Reply To: Finally facing up to my traumatic grief

I feel for you both – being doctors must place pressure upon you both, no matter how well-meaning your patients. You are in a profession where the expectation is on you to provide that care, to provide the support and be that strong emotional platform upon which others rely – and I can only imagine how difficult that must make it to allow yourselves to grieve and let your emotions out.

And then you have your family and others who might also be expecting the same.

I hope you have both found the space in your lives to place this aside, and allow yourselves to be okay with what you feel and where you are. You both deserve the full support and care of your loved ones, families and support circles – us included.

Please come back and let us know how you’re coping – let us take care of you guys, for once.
