Emergency Medical Services
EMTs and paramedics carry a particular kind of grief: they are present for the most vulnerable moments of strangers' lives, and they are trained to move on before they can mourn. You may grieve patients you couldn't save, or you may find yourself numb to loss in ways that frighten you. The profession has long expected you to absorb this quietly. It doesn't have to be that way: there are people and places built for the weight you carry.
