A longer Day in the Life video today…
This one shows what working in hospice is like when a patient dies. I have not had many patients that I was close to die yet, so this one felt a little different.
In between sessions, I was able to pause and listen to a podcast I like to “refill my cup” before the next session. Luckily, I also had non-patient care tasks on the schedule and that helped me to compartmentalize the rest of my day.
Being a music therapist can be fun, but it can also be emotionally draining. Sometimes I get to be the joy of remembering an old song. Other days, I sit with family members in their grief. On this particular day, we got the rain and the sunshine. 🌦️
