Scenario

When workplace teams struggle to grieve collectively

Our department head died in a car accident last month and our whole team is pretending to function normally while we're all falling apart in different ways — some people are working constantly, others can't focus, and we're starting to get frustrated with each other instead of acknowledging that we're all just scared and sad. None of us knows how to say out loud that we need to grieve together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is fragmenting under the weight of unexpressed shared loss, mistaking different grief responses for lack of care.
