The Hidden Cost of Grief in the Workplace
When someone on your team is struggling, it affects everyone
You've probably noticed it before – a team member who's just not themselves after a loss. They're physically present but emotionally absent. Their work suffers, they make mistakes they wouldn't normally make, and the whole team feels the impact.
Here's what most organisations don't realise: Grief doesn't just affect the person experiencing it. It quietly drains productivity, damages team morale, and can cost your business thousands in lost performance and sick days.

I'm a Certified Grief Specialist and founder of Handling Grief. After experiencing multiple losses myself, I understand firsthand how isolating and overwhelming grief can feel.
My approach focuses on transforming pain into purpose, offering step-by-step guidance that helps you move forward without spending years stuck in therapy.

When I'm not supporting people through their grief journeys, I find peace photographing flowers at Kew Gardens and treasure time with my family, especially visits to The Horniman Museum with my grandchildren.
