“Grief and Loss in the Time of COVID-19” with Dr. Deborah Carr

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken nearly 600,000 lives in the U.S. and more than 3 million lives worldwide. Deaths from COVID exemplify a “bad death” – a death that comes unexpectedly, where the dying patient experiences discomfort, and the family is robbed of precious moments together at the end of life. We will discuss the elements of “good” and “bad” deaths, and how each shapes the grief experienced by family and loved ones. We will focus on ways to cope with loss when it co-occurs with other stressors, and the very people we usually turn to for support are not able to provide assistance. We will talk about ways of coping with loss and stress more generally, and share strategies with one another.
