The other thing that I think makes loss during the pandemic even harder is that we can't gather and celebrate life the way that we would in non-pandemic times.
Losing a loved one is never easy, but the pandemic has added layers of complexity to an already difficult process. In this episode of 'Discovering Our Scars', hosts Steph and Beth open up about the unique challenges of mourning during COVID-19. Steph recounts the recent loss of her grandmother, who passed away on the morning of this recording, while Beth reflects on how the pandemic has disrupted traditional funeral and memorial rituals.
They dive into how COVID-19 has changed the way we grieve, even when the virus itself isn't the cause of death. The inability to gather with friends and family for support makes the grieving process even more isolating. The hosts also discuss the importance of sharing difficult news and how it can offer solace during tough times.
To lighten the mood, they each share a personal story in their 'Slice of Life' segment, giving listeners a glimpse into their current lives. This episode is a heartfelt conversation that anyone dealing with loss during these unprecedented times will find relatable and comforting.
