These stories are from trained professionals who speak a variety of spoken and sign languages.

They share the systemic dysfunction they have witnessed first-hand, as well as the gratification they feel when patients and their physicians successfully communicate the nuances of the health situation. Four commentaries on these narratives are also included, authored by experts and scholars in the fields of medicine and bioethics, with particular interests in the moral distress of healthcare providers, medical communication, the intersection of policy and ethics, and the education of future interpreters.

In this symposium, we have gathered stories from professionals involved in patient care who report their experiences of grief on the job. Our authors come from the disciplines of medicine, nursing, social work, and chaplaincy. They represent a range of experiences, from students early in their training to experienced clinicians looking back on careers in the healing professions. Many report on what helped them integrate their grief experiences into professional growth. Many also acknowledge that struggle for integration is ongoing.
