Helping End of Life Professionals Fill Their Cup

  1. Helping End of Life Professionals Fill Their Cup Helen Bauer RN BSN CHPN 58:04

Erin Whalen, founder of Compassionate Coaching, is working to help end of life and Grief professionals love their work again.  Using her unique gifts, Erin and the Compassionate Coaching theater troop employ “playback theater” to develop engaging programming that centers around giving and receiving empathy.  They work with end of life teams to mitigate burnout, enabling the teams to continue providing care for those who are dying.

Erin understands grief, loss, and the importance of caring for ourselves as we care for others.  Erin lived her whole life in a state of anticipatory grief for the loss of her older sister, Gina.  Gina was born with severe cerebral palsy, and died in 2016.  Grief milestones are very familiar to Erin.  Now she uses her work at Compassionate Coaching to support those who work to care for the dying. 

You can connect with Compassionate Coaching at compassionatecoaching.org.
