"The most challenging part of being a nurse is watching family members grieve over losing their loved one. I understand how hard it is to watch someone you love die, as it has happened to me. It used to be challenging to maintain my composure because it brought up what I went through, but after two years of grief counseling, it has become easier. Now, I can comfort the family while remembering they are grieving, not me. I feel my experience has made me a more compassionate and empathetic nurse. While it was challenging to go through what I did, it has made me stronger and more capable of handling grieving families."
