Grief -- Grieving the loss of a separation from your partner or significant relationship or you health, job, or pet.
About Grief	English (USA)
All NIU employees who have experienced a loss through a divorce, of your health, job, pet or other significant losses are invited to join this loss listserv. Each person’s loss is different and each person’s grief journey is unique, yet the process of grieving is similar regardless of what you have lost. Our culture does not understand that any loss triggers grief and that grief, regardless of what you lost does not end quickly. The purpose of this listserv is to have a place where you can share experiences with others who have similar experience and provide support to each other. All the research on dealing with stressful times suggests that you share your experiences with someone. In addition to communicating on the listserv, there will be opportunities to meet face-to-face as requested. For more information on coping, see the Employee Assistance Program Webpage. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Grief Archives. (The current archive is only available to the list members.)
