Facing grief together

from Stacey Peterson, Human Resources Director

As a follow-up to Dom’s email this morning, the unexpected loss of a coworker, family member, friend is difficult and we all experience grief differently.

I’d like to take this time to remind employees of our Employee Assistance Program with Managed Health Network (MHN). To login on the website as a member, enter the code: Roseville

The news of the loss of a coworker was shocking this morning, and you or your coworkers may feel emotionally numb, may not able to believe the loss of someone so young, feel anxious or depressed, feel the need for acceptance or to mourn publicly by talking about the loss. These are common reactions of grief.

This article has more information about coworkers facing grief together so you can be supportive of those in need.


If you wish to contact MHN to speak to a grief counselor, call 1-800-242-6220. Also, if there is a need to bring in a counselor to the office to help with employee grief, please feel free to contact me so HR can request a critical incident response from MHN.
