Mental Health: Loss

Loss takes many forms and affects us all and as doctors we can find it difficult to seek help and take the time we need to deal with our loss. As doctors we can feel pressure to be superhuman and try to carry on as normal or return to work quickly, often having taken none or little time off to recover.

The At a Loss website is an excellent resource and signposts to support relevant to your situation and useful resources to help you deal with your loss.

Grief is one of the most universal human experiences, but all too often, no one talks about it. On the Option B website you’ll find personal stories that deal with loss openly and honestly.
