Today is a heartfelt and deep dive into complicated loss. Unresolved issues, being estranged, suddenness, guilt and anger are all examples of complications that could muddy the waters of grief when someone dies. On today’s episode, we hear a unique perspective from former ICU nurse, Joy DiVincenzo, who worked in the Intensive Care Unit during the Covid-19 pandemic. The fast pace of losing patients, the inability for families to be with their loved ones when they died, and the difficulty connecting and grieving with her fellow nurses because of social distancing are all pieces that Joy touches on during our conversation.
Joy’s positivity, heart, and motherly wisdom shine through in the lessons she shares with me from this time in her career that affected her on a deeply personal level. Listen with tissues handy, and maybe even a notebook and pen. There are so many thought-provoking nuggets in this episode that I know it’s one I’ll listen to again and again.
