Welcome back to the guest chair Lanise Shortell — a pediatric and perinatal hospice nurse with over 20 years of experience walking families through their most tender moments. She is a global grief advocate who trains physician fellows at Emory University and abroad on the emotional landscapes of pediatric end-of-life care. Most recently, Lanise became became the Co-Owner of Pediatric Hospice and Palliative Care of Georgia - offering comforting care for families during every step of their journey.
Lanise became a student of grief at just 4 years old, after a tragic accident shattered her sense of safety and family overnight. That rupture became a lifelong teacher — one that now informs the way she serves families facing unthinkable loss.
This episode is for anyone navigating the quiet ache of loss, or sitting beside someone who is.
In this episode, we discussed:
- The moment Lanise’s life drastically changed by unimaginable loss.
- What it means to honor grief without trying to fix it.
- How grief can shape — and sometimes become — our life’s work.
- What pediatric hospice work teaches about presence, not performance.
- Her work globally and nationally training.
- What we all can do to help families grieving everyday, but especially during the holidays.
This conversation is a reminder that grief doesn’t need to be rushed, silenced or solved - It simply needs to be held.
