Nurses for Nurses Network |
As Nurses, we are expected to carry on our work or cope, irrespective of the trauma we witness daily. In our personal lives as the Nurse in the family, people look to us to take the lead in a family crisis and “fix it”. The time to reflect on our sense of grief and loss is negated. We tend to swallow our feelings until we can deal with them later, but sometimes later never comes.
In our undergraduate education, we have very little content on counselling a bereaved person, which often makes us feel stressed and inadequate in dealing with the situation. We are also not given adequate education on managing our grief response to the trauma we witness.
This retreat provides you with the unique experience to explore the implications of grief and trauma in both the professional and personal life of the Nurse.
We will examine two main concepts. The first is self-nurturing and healing from our personal grief or challenging experiences. The second is your work with patients and your relationships with family and friends who have experienced trauma, bereavement, or grief – enhancing your counselling and communication techniques.
