FINDING OUR WAY: TOGETHER WHILE APART

Resources for understanding grief and loss during the COVID-19 pandemic

In its wake, the global COVID-19 pandemic is leaving widespread and, for many, unprecedented loss. While loss, and the grief that follows, are universal experiences, it is important to appreciate how losses occurring within the context of a global pandemic may make an already distressing situation even more difficult. The impact of the pandemic on processing and adjusting to the loss of a loved one is likely to be widespread, with situations in which family members are denied access to a dying loved one in the hospital, or are unable to attend a loved one’s funeral, all too common.

We want to document the losses you are experiencing and understand how the circumstances have shaped your bereavement and affected your ability to cope. With the information we collect we hope to help others bereaved by the pandemic. Please take the surveys below to help us learn more about how you have been affected by the pandemic.
