Abstract
A case study arising from consultation to a health care clinic experiencing difficulties following the suicide of one of two key staff members is presented. The impact of the event on surviving staff members and on the functioning of the organization is described. The role of the consultants in delineating leadership tasks to facilitate mourning and thus allow a return to normal work operations is noted.Keywords
