Lament is the expression that things are not right and sadness is a part of that healing. In this episode we discuss sadness. Its ok to be sad, but what can you do to work through that sadness AND what can you do to help others work through it as well? Bottom line, be there for others. And if not right now, follow up.

“I know that pain is the most important thing in the universes. Greater than survival, greater than love, greater even than the beauty it brings about. For without pain, there can be no pleasure. Without sadness, there can be no happiness. Without misery there can be no beauty. And without these, life is endless, hopeless, doomed and damned. Adult. You have become adult.”― Harlan Ellison, Paingod and Other Delusions

Is the Emergency Department the most critical environment for listening? We say yes and discuss this question, and others, with an expert. Sandy, the Director of Outpatient Services, a Registered Nurse, and a 37-year career ED professional, explains why. The answers may be surprising to some (including this co-host), but the skill of listening in the ED goes beyond staff to staff clinical jargon, and goes right to the core necessity of human communication and emotion.
