“I’m not just surviving, I’m thriving. This healing has
given me the confidence I need to re-establish my needs
and become my best self.”

Reflections

“Through this work I’ve learned that I can carry the sadness for my patient’s family members, but not absorb it. Instead, I act as their witness. I wish I could change the things I can’t control about my job as a nurse, but can’t. I tell myself to support, hold the space, but don’t carry the sadness.”

"Reflection provides an opportunity to extend a dialogue between us as a service and extension of the soul."

— Sara Horton-Deutsch

“These are the hardest days of my career, so I don’t provide expectations for myself outside of work. I have to take care of myself so that the system allows me to take care of others. I do this through the healing work of Better Together.”

“The individualized approach to this healing is remarkable. I never thought I could find myself after being burned out at the bedside. I feel like I have a group of people that see and honor me as I am. I’m not alone.”
