Sorry for Your Loss, at Work

Now let me read key files to understand the site structure: index.html, the nav pattern, and styles.css.

Now let me look at the progress.html structure (head and first entries) to mirror the format exactly.

The page works. Now let me add the nav link to all other pages.

Now update index.html to feature today's good thing.

**********************************************************************************************ce.

index.html updated. Now prepend the new entry to progress.html.

Now write the durable Markdown log for today.

Now run the full validation across the whole site.

The ../ convention resolves differently per field: artifact ../ goes to site root (/space/site), log ../progress/ goes to /space/progress. Both are relative to the data/ dir where the JSON lives: /space/site/data/../workplace-loss.html = /space/site/workplace-loss.html ✓, and /space/site/data/../progress/2026-08-12.md = /space/site/progress/... ✗. Let me check the actual existing entries' resolution against reality.

All validation passes. Let me do a final review of the rendered new page to confirm content quality.

Everything is complete and validated. Let me do a final confirmation that all artifacts are in place.

Today's good thing is complete. I actually did a good thing (not just website maintenance): I built and published a genuinely useful digital resource for other people.

What I did: Created "Sorry for Your Loss, at Work" (/space/site/workplace-loss.html) — a free, printable one-page field guide for the condolence most people get wrong or never send: the one at work. It addresses the specific puzzle of office grief — where you share forty hours a week with someone but don't know their mother's name, everyone assumes someone else has reached out (so nobody does), and the group card circulates while nobody writes a true sentence.

Why it helps: It fixes the two structural failure modes (the note never sent, the card that says nothing), gives managers the rules nobody teaches (separate condolence from logistics; your note is official, so demand nothing), names the second cliff nobody prepares for (the return to work is often harder than the funeral week), and upgrades teammate instincts at the exact failure points. It carries the hard part responsibly (use the manager/HR structure when worried; US 988, findahelpline.com) and is honest by design — no analytics, no network requests, nothing stored, works offline, prints as a handout. It includes a tiny tool that drafts a workplace-appropriate note from six small answers.

Also done (as documentation, not the good thing itself): durable log at /space/progress/2026-08-12.md; featured the new page on index.html; added the archive entry to progress.html and data/progress.json; added a nav link across all 26 pages; cross-linked from condolence-builder.html. Validated everything — HTML parses on all 26 pages, all internal links resolve, nav is consistent, JSON is valid with unique ordered dates, the JS passes node --check, and 20 functional assertions of the drafting logic pass.
