Remember (who we cared for and who we loved),
Reflect (how were you impacted by the person you cared for, how do you feel about them, how did you feel when you learned they died) Recover (how do we recover from the difficulties we face, the dual concerns of broader impact on our work and the individual situations we need to recover from in loss, how do you recover from the situations where people are a challenge and the difficult experiences with clients) Reinvest (how can we be inspired to dive back into our work from the relationships we have built and those who inspire us, what is your sell- care plan to help reinvest in yourself to be able to reinvest in the work)
