As a tax lawyer, I spend a large portion of my day discussing difficult topics with clients - including discussions of death and dying. Often, I am one of the first phone calls after the death of a loved one.
In this episode, we delve into a deeply personal topic: the emotional impact of losing a long-time client. My special guest, Dr. Brian Chartier, shares valuable insights and strategies for:
- Letting go of the idea that there is a "right way" to respond in the situation, or that there is the "right thing" to say.
- Navigating your own personal grief
- Supporting grieving family members by helping to provide structure, and engaging in curious conversations
- Maintaining emotional health in our professional lives
