Grief touches all of us — even at work.
Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a pet, a relationship, or even a sense of identity, grief can show up in our lives in deeply personal ways — including in the workplace. It affects focus, morale, communication, and wellbeing. And yet, many employees feel isolated in their experience, unsure how to ask for support — or how to offer it.
At Griefline, we believe that creating compassionate, griefinformed workplaces is not just possible — it’s essential.
