We're majorly nodding along with Chris's take "I’m grateful that one series found a way to capture that grief authentically — not grief as we’d like to experience it but as it is actually lived."

What was it like for you coming into work grieving? Did you feel pressured to compartmentalize and perform when you were already overwhelmed? Did coworkers show up in ways that felt empowering? Or did they pry into details you’d rather leave outside the cubicle?

Workplaces are a tricky chess board to navigate when it comes to grief: perhaps a welcome escape from mayhem at home, an endlessly exhausting grindstone, or maybe even both at the same time.

Almost three years ago, we launched the Workplace Resilience program to help make these spaces more grief-ready. Since then, we’ve partnered with major corporations, small non-profits, and government agencies across the US and Canada who want to take better care of their people.

Exciting news! Thanks to a couple of generous donors, all donations will be matched up to $10,500, today through the end of the year. Forget what you learned in math class: that means $1 = $2, and the impact of every dollar is automatically doubled. supportthedinnerparty.funrai…

Places of devotion to ancestors who have crossed over. It’s a lesson in how our grief journeys can hold space for so many emotions all at once, and we wanted to share a bit of that from within our own community. Enjoy and tag us if you’re sharing yours!
