37. How Has COVID Changed Our Views on Grief and Loss? With Dr. Sunita Puri

The concept of palliative care can bring up a whole flood of
thoughts and emotions: fear, anxiety, grief, anger, helplessness.
But palliative care physician Sunita Puri wants to change
people’s perception of her field. And not just laypeople, but
also her medical colleagues. Dr. Puri tells Claire why she became
a palliative care doctor, how she’s working to destigmatize her
chosen field, how she strives to empower patients and caregivers
facing serious illnesses or end-of-life situations, and how she
hopes the COVID-19 pandemic changed people’s willingness to be
open about grief and loss for the better.
