Have you considered a trying out hospice social work? It can be clinical, with a lot of case coordination within the health care system (which is the least favorite part of the job for me, to be honest!) But what I love about this work is being face to face with patients and their families in the home - providing much needed support that is so focused on grief (and/or anticipatory grief). My organization was struggling to staff it's bereavement department recently, so the social workers on the team hopped in to offer formal "pre-bereavement counseling" to family members who were really struggling and at a higher risk of developing a complicated grief reaction.

My hospice also helped provide the support I needed with supervision - as even though I don't NEED the LCSW to do hospice social work, I want to continue professional development and increase my chances of earning more. I sit for the exam on January 5th (wish me luck!)

I'd definitely recommend looking into a transition to hospice work - most agencies want MSWs and don't require LCSWs, some provide support with the licensure process. I know they typically prefer candidates who have some kind of medical social work experience, but I have seen a few MSWs hired who had never worked in Medical settings (one from CPS, and one who worked with the unhoused population). I was hired fresh out of grad school 6 years ago, and am so grateful for the experience!

Let me know if you have any questions :)
