The sudden loss of my brother cast a long shadow, one that followed me into meeting rooms and coffee breaks, reminding me that grief doesn't punch a time clock.
Grief isn't an illness or mistake. It is a natural and sacred response to life’s inevitable losses, and in this episode, we peel back the layers of discomfort that shroud death and grief in the workplace. I offer up my story as a lesson in vulnerability and as a beacon for those who are adrift in the same stormy waters.
There's no suffering Olympics. Your loss could be a parent, partner, pregnancy, pet, or a job. It's still grief.
In this episode, we discuss:
- How to offer support to colleagues experiencing loss
- Why we need to reconsider bereavement and expand into compassionate leave
- What we need from Human Resources and Executive Leadership
Show notes:
You can listen to the 7-minute eulogy for my brother Bill Griffin, Jr.
