Guide
Grief and Loss
Grief shows up at work, too. Quiet, practical support for moving through hard seasons.
In this guide
- What to expect in the first 30, 60, and 90 days
- Talking to your team about a loss — only if you want to
- Anniversary dates, triggers, and giving yourself permission
- When grief and depression start to overlap
Grief doesn't move in a straight line. You may feel steady for a week, then ambushed by a song in the elevator. That is normal. Many employees find that returning to work helps with structure, while others need flexibility. A confidential conversation can help you decide what to share, with whom, and when. You don't have to carry it alone, and you don't have to perform being okay.
