Presented by @Jill Johnson Young, LCSW Do you know all that is involved in Intimate Partner Loss (IPL)? This is a subject that is not well recognized by most providers in the helping professions, including the hospice staff you may assume are helping your clients as you support one client facing a loss. "We" -they don’t say the words- all the words, the uncomfortable words; then few others will. It is not included in school programs. Death and dying and grief are not sexy topics; as one professional told me recently during an international symposium.
