About the webinar

Losing someone close is one of life’s most difficult experiences – and nothing truly prepares us for it.

When grief strikes, it can show up in many ways – some of them unexpected. It affects how we feel, think and function, often in ways others can’t see.

This session offers a clear understanding of grief, why it’s so hard to talk about, and how you can support a colleague who’s grieving – whether you’re a friend, teammate or manager.
