Grieving during a pandemic
Mayo Clinic Hospice has been an active member in Community Reflections on Living and Dying, community work group, since its inception two years ago. The group comprises organizations, individuals and businesses passionate about normalizing the end-of-life and grief processes. During the month of November, Community Reflections on Living and Dying typically offers various in-person discussions and events for National Hospice and Palliative Care Month. However, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the group moved to hosting virtual events. The group's most recent video on YouTube, A Tsunami of Grief: Loss and Hope, features Mayo Clinic's Ann Siverling, hospice bereavement coordinator, as well as other community professionals. They discuss the normal grief and loss people are feeling during the pandemic and offer hope and ways to support those who are grieving. For the holidays, the group produced three videos to help normalize grief and the holidays during the current pandemic. The Holidays: Coping and Hoping videos also offer practical ideas for celebrating the holidays a little differently than a person may have in the past and/or starting new traditions:Grief during a pandemic
