Grief, Grieving, and Grievance — Growth to Move Forward

Abstract

Overwhelming grief during the pandemic’s peak was prevalent for many. Grieving the capabilities of one’s past practice settings in a new world order is still common, and for some, this manifests in holding a grievance toward unknown or unidentified forces. The physician workforce and physician leaders have an opportunity to reshape healthcare’s future by helping lead and care for those individuals and organizations caught up in a cycle of persistent grief.
