A funeral is a pivotal step in the process of acceptance of the loss of a loved one, and a chance to say a final goodbye. It is a difficult time for many, which is only amplified when that chance is no longer.

Grieving during the Pandemic is designed to help people cope with loss during the COVID-19 pandemic. From simple advice for handling grief through to suggestions on how to memorialise a person during isolation, it has been created to help navigate grief during a pandemic.
