Most of us will only know him through his blogging, in which his fellow economists--on the left and on the right--often seem arrogant and unworldly.

Her advice is good. And, also, for those who are not ER doctors but who want to know how to interface with grieving parents, my number one rule is to treat the lost child as a person rather than an abstraction, someone who had a name and pecific interests and affections. Always ask about the name.Will Carringtonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-582368152716771238.post-3526554489289150542016-09-06T01:44:00.579-05:002016-09-06T01:44:00.579-05:00Thank you so much for having shared this beautiful...Thank you so much for having shared this beautiful piece. <br />Economists are not what so many people believe they are ! <br /><br />EtienneEtienne de Callataÿhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12293540507510800311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-582368152716771238.post-56340937177672439192016-09-05T22:28:30.498-05:002016-09-05T22:28:30.498-05:00I wish I had more to say than the following, so it...I wish I had more to say than the following, so it will have suffice: Thank you for sharing.Pedronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-582368152716771238.post-11268167248269972162016-09-05T16:25:27.989-05:002016-09-05T16:25:27.989-05:00I have never had to tell a mother her son has died...I have never had to tell a mother her son has died but I often broke the news to a patient that they had terminal cancer. <br /><br />It is not an easy task.

It is good to read for learning how to write, for knowing how to deliver such news, and for reminding us of what matters more than the trivial disappointments of daily life. We don't all have to tell the bad news to the mother, but we all will some time need to tell someone who cares.
