Book excerpt: When grief hits, we hurt. Author and bereavement specialist Dr. Beth Hewett joins the Workplace Trauma Center's Dr. Richard Ottenstein to look honestly at how to support a grieving workforce whether the losses are from the COVID-19 pandemic, other illnesses, violence, or accidents. Supporting A Grieving Workforce explains that grief and mourning are not the same thing: grief is passive (it happens to us) and mourning is active (we do something with it). This brief book helps employers and employees understand grief in their workplace, and it offers practical activities, ceremonial elements, and soulful ways to work with the sad and sometimes traumatic nature of loss.
