If your loved one passed away and the nurse caring for them shed a tear, how would you view the nurse? I was recently told that nurses who cry for patients who pass away, are weak and not cut out for the job and that the grief is not ours to express (This didn't come from a patient, a relative or a colleague) But I feel the exact opposite, that any nurse who does not feel the loss of a patient, should not be a nurse. Any thoughts? * +
