The average economic loss for an employer — and this is just related to grieving parents not parents with sick kids — is just under $50,000"

Every year in the US, over 1 million women miscarry and another 26,000 experience a stillbirth. At any one time in any given workplace in the US, one out of every four employees is grieving the loss of a loved one” - https://youtu.be/SH6x-cjTD6M?t=3

GROUPS, ORGANIZATIONS, CHURCHES, COMMUNITIES and CORPORATIONS:
The My Grief Angels team of staff and volunteers works with Communities, Churches, Corporations, Organizations and other groups to put together comprehensive and customized online grief support resources, education and services for their members, residents, employees, customers, suppliers, and others worldwide.
We work with Corporations and Organizations to provide employees dealing with the loss of a loved one with customized programs that help the individual employee; their family; their work colleagues and the employers throughout the grieving process.
"My partner and I both felt the loss deeply, but while I sent condolences to her family and expressed heartfelt grief, he turned his grief into action. He flew to the family’s side, assisted with funeral arrangements, and established a scholarship to educate her child. He did all this quietly and without fanfare. His decisive actions put my expressions of sympathy to shame."
