Grief Connects Us

Autor Joseph D Stern
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 mai 2021

In his exceptionally thought-provoking and moving memoir, neurosurgeon Joseph D. Stern explores how personal loss influences the way physicians relate to patients and their families.

How does a doctor who deals with the death of patients on a regular basis confront his own loss when his beloved sister is living out her last days?

Despite a career as a neurosurgeon, Joseph Stern learned more about the nature of illness and death after his younger sister Victoria developed leukemia than his formal medical training ever taught him. Her death broke down the self-protective barriers he had built to perform his job and led to a profound shift in his approach to medicine.

During the year of his sister's illness, Dr. Stern developed a greater awareness of the needs of patients and their families; of the burdens they carry; of the importance of connection, communication, and gratitude; and of what it means to ask the right questions.

In Grief Connects Us, Dr. Stern bridges the gap between patients and doctors, providing a window into the experiences and concerns they both share. There is much unappreciated common ground between them; by listening to their stories, we can develop deeper alliances and mutual understanding so that our needs are met. No matter which side of the patient-doctor relationship you find yourself on, listening with empathy, a willingness to be vulnerable, and striving toward emotional agility are tools we can all develop to improve how we meet difficult, unavoidable challenges.
