Constructing Change: Navigating Grief — What Workers and Leaders Need to Know

In this special fireside-chat edition of our Constructing Change series, CIASP Executive Director Sonya Bohmann sits down with grief experts Jennifer Landon and Maryann Udel for an honest, compassionate conversation about grief in all its forms. Together, they explore how grief shows up far beyond the loss of a loved one — from job changes and divorce to collective grief following workplace incidents. Jennifer and Maryann share their personal stories, define different types of grief (including disenfranchised grief), and discuss why the construction environment often intensifies the challenges workers face when navigating loss. This discussion offers practical guidance for both individuals and organizations: • how to support coworkers returning after a loss • how grief impacts mental health and work performance • why acknowledgment and compassion are essential • what suicide-related grief looks like, and how it differs • tangible self-care and healing strategies • resources such as EAPs, NAMI, AFSP’s Healing Conversations, and 988 While originally planned as a live webinar, this topic deserved a more intimate format. We hope this conversation helps construction professionals feel seen, supported, and equipped to foster a culture of care.
