   Grief is a Foundation for Empathy With Rebecca Thompson

   Rebecca N. Thompson, MD, is a family medicine and public health physician from Portland, Oregon, who specializes in women’s and children’s health—and the author of HELD TOGETHER: A SHARED MEMOIR OF MOTHERHOOD, MEDICINE, AND IMPERFECT LOVE. In this innovative new book, Dr. Thompson weaves her personal story of life-threatening pregnancy complications and losses into the intricate family narratives of twenty-one of her patients, friends, and medical colleagues. Through profoundly honest and emotionally raw accounts, Held Together creates a shared space for connection, delivering comfort and awareness to anyone touched by their own or others’ challenges in building and sustaining families—and celebrates the resilience of women as they navigate the complexities of motherhood, family dynamics, health challenges, and healing across generations. Rebecca shares how collaborative storytelling was a road to connection, how grief is a foundation for empathy. She tells us that watching people grow and change gives us hope.
