How to support a colleague in grief

Death and grief: two topics often met with uncomfortable silence. A survey by the Dying Matters Coalition found that a staggering 83% of people in Britain feel uneasy discussing dying and death. However, this silence can be isolating for those experiencing loss. So, what can you do? How can you reach out and support a grieving colleague without feeling awkward or resorting to cliches?

Dr Erin Hope-Thompson, The Loss Foundation, equips you with the tools to navigate these difficult conversations.
