At Meeting Matters Global, we understand that coping with loss is a deeply personal and challenging experience. Our Bereavement Counseling services are designed to provide compassionate assistance during times of grief and mourning. Let’s explore the global statistics on bereavement and delve into how our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) can offer invaluable support.
Bereavement is a universal human experience that transcends cultural and geographical boundaries. Consider these poignant statistics that highlight the widespread impact of loss:
Global Grief Prevalence: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), millions of people worldwide experience the loss of a loved one each year, contributing to a collective experience of grief and bereavement.
Workplace Impact: Bereavement can significantly affect individuals in the workplace. The Harvard Business Review reports that grieving employees may experience reduced productivity, increased absenteeism, and heightened emotional distress.
Long-Term Effects: Grief is a process that unfolds over time, and its impact can extend beyond the immediate aftermath of loss. Studies show that unresolved grief can lead to mental health challenges, affecting overall well-being.
Meeting Matters Global recognizes the unique and profound challenges associated with bereavement. Our EAP is here to provide empathetic and practical support to help individuals navigate the complexities of grief. Here’s how our program can assist:
Our EAP offers confidential counseling sessions with experienced professionals trained in grief and bereavement support. Individuals can access counseling services online, providing a secure and convenient space to express their emotions and receive guidance.
Grief Education and Resources:
Understanding the grieving process is essential for healing. We provide educational resources and materials that help individuals comprehend the various stages of grief and develop coping strategies.
Support Groups and Community:
Connecting with others who have experienced similar loss can be profoundly comforting. Our EAP facilitates virtual support groups, fostering a sense of community and understanding among individuals navigating grief.

Grieving doesn’t adhere to a schedule, and our support shouldn’t either. Our program offers flexible scheduling for counseling sessions, ensuring individuals can access assistance when they need it most.
