About "Taking Your Griefcase to Work"
A Great Follow-On Read to "The Griefcase"
If you have gone through the tragic loss of a loved one and now faced with returning to work, then this book will offer you much needed guidance.
Do you know what to expect? Maybe. Maybe not...Maybe you are already back and things just seem completely foreign?
Are you coming back to an employer who is compassionate and understanding toward you and what you’ve been through? Maybe the workplace will be indifferent, and even hostile, toward your needs as a bereaved employee.
In this groundbreaking book on moving forward while returning to work with loss heavy in our hearts, R. Glenn Kelly shares his renowned understanding of grief and bereavement support combined with over two-decades of executive business management experience to help us transition back to a workplace that was once as safe and secure as home, but may not be now.
This is a great companion book to R. Glenn’s THE GRIEFCASE, and one published for business leadership, GRIEF IN THE WORKPLACE.
R. Glenn Kelly - The Broken Road Traveler
R. Glenn is a fellow traveler on the broken road. He believes that no road is too broken to travel — and that every exit you choose can lead us back to peace, purpose, and a life of authentic faith.
