Complex grief is more than sadness. It can carry trauma, confusion, guilt, relief, and invisible wounds from childhood family dynamics that may affect leadership and work capacity in adulthood when the abusive parent passes away. In this episode, Dr. Shalini Jebasingh explores how complex, that is, traumatic, ambiguous, and disenfranchised grief, especially after covert parental abuse or scapegoating, can impact decision-making, trust, burnout, and performance at work.

You will learn how complex grief differs from conventional grief, why it can profoundly affect leaders and professionals, and five practical strategies to regain clarity, resilience, and work capacity, including the proprietary SCRIBE framework developed by Eirene Group.
