Katie: If you feel pain when a client dies, then you are right for this job. It’s the provider who feels nothing who needs to hang up the hat or take a long leave of absence. If you can come up with a private ritual or one you share with other members of the person’s care team, this seems ti be a good strategy. I used to make drawings of clients and coworkers we lost (am now in an acute care position where we only get to know them for 48-72 hours which is still sad but often we don’t even hear about when they pass and the rapport is different). A coworker took a nice photo of one client before he passed where he looked very cool and printed it out as a sticker with his name and ‘Live In Power’ on it to give to colleagues and the client’s friends. Writing poetry or journal entries, picking out a houseplant that reminds you of them to put somewhere in the office if you can, playing an album by an artist they like while in quiet contemplation like a bath or on a walk or whatever your mindful place is, or baking one of their favorite foods could be other rituals. I bet your coworkers were awkward because they also shoved their feelings away instead of processing them, this may be the way to get them on board with commemorating those you have lost.
