Recommendation by getAbstract, resource for compressed knowledge: Rev. Patrick Riecke outlines specific guidance for supporting the grieving, sick or dying - and their friends and family. A hospital chaplain, he writes from a Christian spiritual perspective, including using biblical quotes. His advice is broadly applicable, including for managers helping workers affected by illness and loss. He provides reference lists of the right and wrong things to say to people who are grieving, ill or dying, and to their families. Managers will find the book and its lists very useful. Few people can help during hard times, but being present the right way is "important work."
