We can all agree that our pace has increased in our post-pandemic world. That, paired with our online existences playing such a large part in how we live, navigating grief became that much more complicated. But what if it didn’t have to be? Let Gina help your audience learn how to navigate the thrashing waters of grief so the can thrive instead of trying to fight against the waves.
Navigating Grief in a Modern, Fast-Paced World
Grief is a universal experience. We have all lost something, whether a loved one, friendship, relationship, career, or dream. And yet, most workplaces lack an understanding of the effects of grief and the impact of being required to work while attempting to keep one's head above water. Let’s change how we see grief and how our coworkers experience it within the culture and community of the working environment.
Building a Grief-Informed Workplace
When you know the impacts of grief on the body, you are much more capable of partnering with those who are navigating the choppy waters. While grief is universal, each person’s experience is vastly different. Loss takes a toll on the psychological, physiological, and spiritual well-being of a person. And while, in the past, there was an attempt to simplify it to “stages,” we know better today what actually happens through the seasons of grief.
Creating Awareness of Grief’s Effect on the Body
This is an intricate and multifaceted relationship and one that most people don’t fully grasp yet. Trauma and grief often show up and influence each other, which deepens the emotional plain, making it challenging to understand how to provide care and support to the individual. Let’s unravel the threads of each and begin to develop the skills to offer adequate support and empathy to the people who so often need it the most.
Understanding the Relationship Between Trauma & Grief
What happens when someone is experiencing the emotional and physical toll of grief beyond the expected and often culturally accepted period following loss? While we can’t create a timeline for grief, this diagnosable disorder is far from understood by many in supporting roles. Let’s change how we see this complicated form of grief and develop the tools to offer real care.
