Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Nobody tells you what to do about the 9 a.m. meeting on the day you're going to break down anyway.The grief books talk about the paperwork and the empty house. None of them talk about the part where you still have to clock in. This book is for the widow who cannot take six months, who has a job that still needs her, and who is trying to grieve and perform at the same time without either one eating the other alive.This book treats going back to work early, or right away, as a real situation with its own workable answers - not a failure to grieve properly. There is no chapter here arguing you should take more time off or find a way to make your finances work without working. It assumes the job is staying, and asks a more useful question: how do you do this well.One hundred concrete actions. Each one ends with a single thing to do this week.- Deciding when and how to go back, and what to tell people- The HR conversations worth having in writing- Getting through meetings, deadlines and the days concentration won't come- Coworkers who say the wrong thing, and the ones who go quiet- The physical toll of grieving on a schedule- What to do when grief ambushes you at your desk- Money, and why you're still here even though it's hard- The long middle, once everyone else assumes you're over itWorking through grief is not doing it wrong. Each chapter says at the start who it is for and what to skip - some tips assume an office with HR, some assume self-employment or shift work, and skipping is how a handbook is meant to work.If what you want is not another reminder to be gentle with yourself, but a plain list of things you could actually do this week at your desk, this is that book.
