Grief doesn’t stay at home—it follows us into every part of our lives, including the workplace.
Loss can impact focus, productivity, and overall well-being, making it difficult to meet professional responsibilities. Many feel pressured to “push through,” but without support, this can lead to burnout, absenteeism, or long-term mental health challenges. Recognizing and addressing grief at work is essential for personal healing and professional balance.
I provide specialized grief consulting services to help businesses support employees coping with loss. Grief can lead to absenteeism, reduced performance, and increased turnover, costing U.S. companies billions annually. I offer tailored one-on-one and group support for employees, along with leadership guidance to help managers navigate grief with compassion. By fostering a supportive workplace culture, organizations can build resilience, improve productivity, and strengthen overall employee well-being.
How can your workplace grief consulting benefit my organization?
Grief can negatively impact both individual employees and overall organizational performance. When employees are supported through their grief, they’re better able to focus, engage, and contribute meaningfully at work. The right support not only helps individuals heal but also fosters resilience and growth across the organization, creating a healthier, more productive workplace.

● Reducing absenteeism and improving productivity

Workplace Clients’ Kind Words
“
As the Executive Director of the Estes Chamber of Commerce in 2022, I asked Crystal to help the community grieve and heal after a fire that threatened the whole valley and hundreds of homes in a time where the COVID pandemic was already a threat to our wellbeing.
The impact on every family, every workplace, and every employee was palpable and threatening to our economy.
We purchased her grief recovery book for every leader in town and held a series of online connections that gave us a common language for comforting each other in the workplace and at home. Thanks Crystal!

I didn’t realize I was grieving until it started affecting every part of my life, including my ability to focus at work.
I felt overwhelmed, blamed myself for my pain, and feared I might lose my job. I thought I could handle it alone until I couldn’t.
The Grief Recovery Program helped me in ways I never imagined. It showed me that my pain wasn’t my fault and that I was worthy of healing. With the support and tools it provided, I was finally able to move forward. I am truly a better person because of it. Thank you Crystal!

I don’t think I’ve ever met a more empathetic, compassionate, or caring person than Crystal.
I was fortunate to cross paths with her after my first wife tragically passed away at work—followed by the loss of my grandmother just three days later. I felt completely lost, unsure of where to turn, even after countless therapy sessions.
I met Crystal at a presentation where she was sharing information on grief, loss, and the Grief Recovery Method. I decided to give it a try, and through the group sessions, I found not only support but hope—hope that healing was possible. Grief brings waves of sadness, anger, and loneliness, but in these sessions, I finally felt understood.
Crystal gently guides you through your personal grief journey, but ultimately, it’s up to you to do the 'heart' work. It’s not always easy, but I can honestly say I have never been more grateful for taking this step. Her compassion and expertise helped me in ways I never expected.
Most importantly, what I learned through the Grief Recovery Method isn’t just for one moment in time—it’s a skill set that lasts a lifetime. As I’ve moved forward in life and remarried, I continue to use these tools to navigate new challenges with greater resilience.
If you're struggling with grief, especially in the workplace, I cannot recommend Crystal Givens enough. She is truly a lifesaver.

At Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, we hired Crystal Givens to educate our staff on the grief process related to animal loss. She created a compassionate and supportive space where our team could openly acknowledge, discuss, and normalize their grief. Her insight and empathy made a lasting impact on our staff’s well-being.
I highly recommend Crystal's expertise to any industry where employees experience loss.

As Crystal’s attorney, I saw firsthand how her expertise as a Grief Recovery Specialist allowed her to navigate a deeply emotional and complex situation with resilience and clarity. Her ability to process grief in a healthy way is a testament to the power of her work.
Crystal brings that same level of empathy, professionalism, and understanding to those she helps.
She is a compassionate and skilled grief specialist, and I highly recommend her services—especially for workplaces needing support through loss and difficult transitions. I will be confidently referring my own clients to her.
