"If you have suffered such a loss... I suggest you read this book!" -- Verified Amazon Customer Review
Returning to work after the devastating loss of a loved one is one of the hardest steps a grieving person ever takes.

You may already be back at your desk, feeling like a stranger in a place that once felt safe. Or you may be dreading the day you walk through those doors again. Coworkers may not know what to say--or say nothing at all. Your manager might be compassionate... or expect you to "get over it" quickly. Grief crashes in during meetings, deadlines, and quiet moments, and you wonder: How do I protect my job while still honoring the pain I carry?

In Taking Your Griefcase to Work, R. Glenn Kelly, bereaved father, best-selling author of Sometimes I Cry in the Shower, The Griefcase, and more, is a seasoned business executive who combines over two decades of grief-recovery expertise with real-world business insight to give you the practical tools and emotional permission you need.

This is not another generic grief book. It's a direct, compassionate guide--especially for men--who must navigate grief in the workplace while maintaining professional responsibilities.
You'll learn how to:

• Have difficult conversations with managers and colleagues
• Manage triggers and stay focused during the workday
• Set healthy boundaries without risking your career
• Rebuild purpose and quiet strength on the job
• Turn the broken road of loss into a path you can walk with dignity

A powerful companion to The Griefcase and Grief in the Workplace, this book helps you carry your grief into the office without letting it define you.

If you're facing--or already facing--the return to work after loss, this is the guide that finally speaks directly to what you're going through.
