In this episode, we explore the often overlooked emotional burden of grief in medical care. Many doctors are trained to treat the physical symptoms of illness but may struggle to fully understand or address the complex emotional and psychological aspects of grief that their patients experience. We'll discuss how the medical system often falls short in supporting those grieving, whether it's after a terminal diagnosis or the loss of a loved one.

Cristi Habermann shares personal experiences and stories of how having cancer the same diagnosis her son died from is affecting her healing journey. Cristi discusses both the positive and negative interactions with medical professionals.

Secondly, we dive into the importance of being authentic in grief—embracing it fully rather than hiding it away. Together, we explore ways to advocate for better understanding and support from healthcare providers and how patients can assert their need for compassionate care.

This episode aims to empower listeners to navigate their grief with authenticity and courage, while also equipping them with the tools to advocate for themselves in medical settings. Whether you're a patient, caregiver, or medical professional, this conversation offers insights into bridging the gap between medicine and the human experience of loss.

Tune in for a heartfelt and eye-opening episodes that challenges the way we think about grief in healthcare.
