Rarely do clinicians care for family members of deceased patients through long and complex bereavement periods. In joining with families through funeral and other mourning rituals, in addition to ongoing communication around the shared loss, caregivers occupy a privileged position to facilitate healing for families and themselves in the aftermath of a patient's death. This seminar will explore a real-life tale of compassionate caregiving in life and non-abandonment after death. It is the story of a mother who exhibits the courage to grieve deeply, to be with emotion, and to strive for life and growth amidst tragedy--an odyssey of resilience after losing a child to drug overdose. It is also the tale of a doctor who accompanies and mentors the mother through her mourning. This uncommon relationship forged a way through unimaginable loss into a place of meaning and creativity. Topics addressed in this jointly-facilitated interactive session will include complex and disenfranchised grief among family members and clinicians, unique elements of mourning drug-related deaths, clinician-family relationships in the bereavement setting, palliative approaches to severe substance use disorders, drug-related death bereavement within religious communities, the arts as a therapeutic medium to process loss, grief complicated by trauma histories, and complex family dynamics in the setting of substance-dependent young adults. Participants will be invited to share their clinical and personal experiences.
