I read a fascinating and personal account this morning of how one individual is coping with her grief during COVID-19 isolation. Read it here: https://metro.co.uk/2020/04/05/cope-grief-coronavirus-lockdown-12508673/ (and if you have read my previous post, I did immediately send this to my neighbour as it echoes a lot of what she was saying about her own experience).
Although the author's methods for dealing with her grief are unique to her and may not resonate for all, one thing she mentions in this article is how she feels she needs to press pause on her grief until this COVID reality is a thing of the past.
It's an interesting concept. How many other things are being paused in our lives right now? And what will a pause on grief lead to in our post-pandemic lives. It's a tough one. But with everything so out of whack at the moment, it may be what grievers need.
For those of us around them, how can we be grief-allies and allow grievers to be able to press pause if that's what they choose?
