Grief is a normal reaction to loss, and something that each of us is likely to experience multiple times in our lives. How and what we grieve is personal and differs for everyone, but grief’s impacts are often protracted and profound, and not easily or neatly separated from our work lives.
This guide was developed within the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice-Principal (Academic) (OPEVPA) in conversation with faculty members and academic administrators who have experienced a death-related loss while working at McGill. Subsequently, it was adapted for the McGill community to better support those navigating grief and bereavement.
