Dr. Laura Deering “Of course you’re grieving”

Grief is an injury. While it might not be as apparent as a broken arm, grief requires the same care, attention, and treatment. As a pediatric neurologist caring for the minds of both kids and adults, Dr. Laura Deering is no stranger to the waves of grief - foreboding tides that are often unspoken after leaving the patient room. In this episode of Dying to Talk: UCSF Heart Sounds, Dr. Deering and host Dr. Dawn Gross discuss the nuances of supporting families losing their loved ones, creating space for others navigating grief, and sparking conversations around grief with other doctors. Dying to Talk: UCSF Heart sounds is sponsored by the UCSF Health and Wellbeing Grant. Each episode creates a space for doctors to reflect on a rarely discussed experience, the first patient death.
