When Eva’s husband unexpectedly passed away, it had a profound impact on every aspect of her life, from her family to her work. AT&T jumped into action to support Eva, offering comprehensive bereavement benefits including Empathy's practical and emotional support, a dedicated Care Manager and a personalized plan to support her through the weeks and months following her loss, and help her and her family back on their feet. “Empathy provided the pathway for a peace of mind while I could focus on our healing journey as a family.” Eva said, reflecting on her experience with Empathy. At Empathy, our goal is to change the way the world deals with loss, one family at a time. We are honored to support Eva and her family, and countless other families like hers, through whatever challenge loss may bring.

Grief Awareness Day is just a week away— does your company have a plan in place? Building a culture of care at your organization means showing up for your employees during life's most challenging moments. One of those critical moments is the loss of a loved one. Talking about grief can be hard, especially at work. Grieving employees may struggle to share how they feel or what they need. Although grief is a universal experience, we all grapple with knowing what to say and what to avoid. Recognizing Grief Awareness Day supports ongoing efforts to care for bereaved employees, combat grief illiteracy in the workplace, and foster a compassionate culture. Not sure how to recognize the day at your organization? DM us for a plan.
