The Grief Kit: Two Future Doctors on Loss, Healing, and Human Connection

In this moving episode of the Jim Bratton Podcast, Jim sits down with Rose Sulentic, and Tracy Tang, two non-traditional medical students whose lives and careers have been shaped by deeply personal experiences with grief.

This conversation explores the emotional landscape of anticipatory grief, healing through writing, medicine's human side, and the creation of a remarkable Grief Kit designed to help others process loss.

This is a thoughtful, vulnerable discussion about what grief really looks like—not always visible, but always present.
