Mirrors & Windows: Reflections on the Journey in Serious Illness Practice
About the book
Our intention with this book is to create a space to pause, to reflect, to be in community. To give space to the very human interactions that stay with us, the ones that keep us up at night, that push or challenge us, and at times change who we are as clinicians and human beings. To express gratitude for lessons received, to mourn lives lost, to acknowledge where we may have been complicit, to see each other and those we show up to support through the door of humanity. All without judgement.
Edited by Terry Altilio, Anne Kelemen, Vickie Leff, Arika Patneaude
