Grief is somewhere in every workplace. One employee may be mourning the death of a family member. Another may be missing a close coworker who's died. Still another may be going through a divorce or coping with serious illness.

Would you know how to support a grieving employee and enable them to transition successfully back to work after a loss? Do you understand how to balance their needs with those of your team and the company as a whole? If you suffered a shattering loss, would you know how to manage your grief while continuing to lead?

Leading Through Loss provides practical tools and ideas from leaders who've dealt with grief at work and offers insight into the perspective and experience of grieving employees: what they need and want, what helps and what hurts, what support they were grateful for and what they wish their leaders had done differently.
