“The Dying Art of Leadership” Receives a Poignant Review

Life during the COVID pandemic has been one long stream of continuing loss. My business partner and I both lost our mother’s during the past six months and grieving wasn’t allowed. We were not allowed to mourn our loss, because gatherings were forbidden.

So, how could I bring her through this, while I suffered through it myself?

I read through each chapter, tears flowing. Until I reached chapter 7. SNAP! I realized that I’d been struggling with the mourning process, and struggling with helping my partner, because I expected our experiences to be similar. But they weren’t. And I was failing badly, because I hadn’t realized the differences, or even adjusted to dealing with those differences in our grieving styles.

I must have read that one chapter a dozen times, before I flipped back to the page before the chapter, where I found this quote:
