THE ‘NEW GRIEF’: HOW FAMILIES GRIEVE AND NAVIGATE EMOTIONS AFTER A LOSS

More than ever before, countless people around the world are more familiar with the stages and elements of grief as we endured the COVID-19 pandemic. However, how we understand loss and how grieving is triggered is not just about the loss of a loved one, it also includes losing a job, the loss of human connection and contact, and the loss of traditional grieving when people can gather and support one another. These losses combined are a collective “new grief”.
