If you've ever struggled to balance your grief with that of others, this episode offers a roadmap to compassionate mourning. Dean Sharpe trained as a general surgeon and worked in private practice from 1980 to2002. His interests expanded and in 1994 he earned a master’s degree in health administration, becoming the first Vice President of Medical Affairs at St. Charles Medical Center.
