    What suggestions do you have for providing a 10-15 minute self-care presentation or activity for Hospice staff in coping with death and grief around the holidays?

    Introduce them to the Calm app by using one of the meditations.

    ​Hi -
    Every couple of years, we do a Coping with Grief and the Holidays for staff during the lunch hour.  It's surprising how many people attend.  One of the bereavement coordinators gives a short talk and then folks share their stories.
    It seems to be effective.
