💔 Holding Space in Crisis: Understanding Grief in Pre-Hospital Care with Liz Gleeson (Part 1)

Grief walks beside us in pre-hospital care, sometimes silent, sometimes overwhelming. It’s there when we hold a hand that’s letting go, when we speak to a family whose world has just changed forever, and when we drive home trying to make sense of it all.

In this episode, we sit down with Liz Gleeson, psychotherapist, educator, and creator of the acclaimed Shapes of Grief podcast and training program, to explore the layers of grief that shape our work and our hearts.

Liz brings a rare combination of deep compassion and expertise, drawing on her background in somatic therapies and her PhD research into Forest Therapy and bereavement. Together, we unpack the many faces of grief; from Kübler-Ross’s Five Stages to the Dual Process Model, Attachment Theory, and Continuing Bonds, and talk honestly about the human cost of caring.

This conversation isn’t just about theory. It’s about presence, how we show up for others and for ourselves in moments of raw humanity.

It’s about what it means to hold space when there are no words.
