In this heartfelt discussion with Lori, a nurse deeply involved in bereavement care and part of the Bereavement Ontario Network, we explore how the pandemic has reshaped our approach to grief and legacy planning. In typical Maria fashion, they cover topics that include children's grief to the evolving practices in healthcare settings and the broader implications for societal views on aging and end-of-life planning.
