understanding of how they can effectively manage their own stress as they are
dealing with clients who are dying and those bereaving after a death. Counseling
at best is a stressful job but when dealing with clients who have and are
experiencing major loss(es), a terminal diagnosis, and the bereaved subsequent to a
loved one’s death by whatever means, stress for the counselor takes its toll.
Learning to monitor, manage and maneuver through that stress helps keep the
counselor healthy, to care for themselves and better help their clients.
