We know this tragic news is difficult to absorb, especially at a time when we are under so much strain. We will do all that we can to provide support in whatever form you need. No story or work assignment is more important than you and your wellbeing. Please lean on us and each other if you need help.
Here is the Guild’s guide to phone and video therapy, which is free to you and your family through EAP, or can be accessed via Post insurance.
The national suicide hotline number is 800-273-TALK (8255). There are some highly trained people who answer this line who you can talk to no matter what you’re feeling.
If you need time to process and need some language on how to approach this with your boss, try something like:
- Hi there, I’m a little overwhelmed by this awful news about our colleague. I need to take a break for a little bit, and I’ll message you when I’m ready to be back to working.
- Hello! Given what Tracy just sent out, I’m going to take a mental health break for [tk time]. If there’s something urgent you need me for, please text me.
- Hey – So sorry, but I’m not feeling well. I need to call it quits for the rest of the day. I’ll be sure to put a sick day in Workday.
We get a lot of sick days, and you can use them to take a mental health day whenever you need one. You don’t have to specify it’s a mental health day.
Recognizing the impact on his family, “What do you call the death of one WaPoo reporter?”

A good start?
What did he know and when did he know it?
Another Arkancide?

Has anyone seen Andrew Gillum lately?
Nah, far more likely is that he wrote something nice about President Trump.
Meh! Most of them are dead from the neck up already.
Asking the wrong questions?
Hopefully he was acquainted with Jesus. RIP.

Oh no.
I’m sure we all knew & loved him.
