On remote teams, hold space for sadness.

I published my How to connect in remote teams  post one month ago. But this post is about something ten times
more important. It’s not about celebrating and having good times with
your fellow remote workers. It is about the opposite. Of all of the twelve months of the year to pick from to really dwell on this topic, October is it; no better month than the one directly preceding Dia del Muertos or All Saints Day. We’re
decorating with black cats, skeletons, and coffins. This is the month
to acknowledge death as part of the circle of life. Depending on your
spiritual beliefs, death and loss are absolutely necessary in our
understanding of life. This article is for remote managers and it is
about the importance of holding space for grief.
