When They’ve Lost a Job and You Haven’t: How to Hold Space Without Fixing, Minimizing, or Disappearing - A guide for partners, friends, colleagues
Friend Grief in the Workplace
They're friends and coworkers, so when they die, it's not only a personal and professional loss, but a challenge: How can you grieve and get your work done, too?
A resource by Victoria Noe
They're friends and coworkers, so when they die, it's not only a personal and professional loss, but a challenge:
How can you grieve and get your work done, too?
In Friend Grief in the Workplace: More Than an Empty Cubicle you'll meet people whose friends were coworkers, too: in a TV newsrooms, a rectory, a Broadway show and on a baseball diamond.
You'll learn how they met that challenge and continue to honor the friendships that lasted longer than 9-5.
My Inspiration
I've always been interested in how people coped with grief when the friend who died was also a coworker. I've lost coworkers over the years, especially when I worked in the HIV/AIDS community, but not while we worked together.
Some of that interest came from stories in the news: baseball players and Broadway producers and rock musicians. The stories told about the friendships, but not how the grieving friend coped. So I decided to dig into their stories to see what I could learn.
