The purpose of this activity is to acknowledge that grief is a natural process that all of us will go through at some point in our lifetime. By making the workplace safe for grief, we can help a colleague experiencing grief to heal, recover, and feel healthy again. This activity works to change the conversation around grief in the workplace by encouraging employees to share the name of someone special in their lives that they grieve for and to reflect why they are grieving for them. 

Your participation in this activity will increase the understanding of who we grieve for and why, and that there are colleagues like yourself who also live with feelings of grief. Understanding the impact this has in your workplace will allow everyone to show more compassion and support during times of loss and grief, leading to grieving colleagues who feel more supported and less stigmatized in the workplace
