Is 3 Days Enough? What No One Tells You About Grief, Bereavement Leave, and Returning to Work Too Soon
Summary of the Episode:

When you’ve just lost a parent, how are you supposed to jump back into work like nothing happened? In this heartfelt episode, Kaitlyn opens up about her own experience navigating work after the sudden death of her father and shares biblical encouragement and practical steps for approaching bereavement leave with honesty and grace.

If you've ever felt pressure to "be okay" when your world is falling apart, this conversation is for you. Learn what bereavement leave is (and isn’t), how to check your options, and how to speak up for what you need without guilt. You’ll be reminded that grief is sacred, rest is biblical, and you don’t have to go through this season alone.

Whether you're already back at work and barely holding it together, or you're unsure how to ask for more time, this episode is your faith-filled permission slip to slow down, breathe, and take the time you need to heal.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
  • What bereavement leave actually is and how it works in the U.S.
  • How to approach your employer with clarity, professionalism, and biblical confidence
  • Why taking time to grieve isn’t selfish—it’s spiritually and emotionally necessary
    • Key Takeaways:
    • Bereavement leave isn’t federally guaranteed in most cases—but knowing your company’s policy can help you advocate for yourself
    • Scripture reminds us that there’s “a time to mourn”—you don’t have to pretend you're okay or rush your healing
    • Asking for time to grieve isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a brave, faith-filled step toward healing after loss
