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.

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