“Grief is an aspect of love, a reflection of the ability to connect. As the heart can grow bigger to allow more love, it can also do so for grief. I don't want any more of my patients to die, but I know that they will. And although I don't want more grief in my life, I know that the connections that permit grief to occur are the connections that keep us -- doctors and patients -- alive.” LifeGriefDoctorsMedicine Book:What Doctors Feel: How Emotions Affect the Practice of Medicine Source: What Doctors Feel: How Emotions Affect the Practice of Medicine
