covid:aid has today launched a new micro-course, Coping With Grief and Bereavement.
The free course, which is available on the covid:aid Covid-19 Support Community, sensitively explores some of the most commonly asked questions in relation to losing a loved one in the age of Covid-19. This includes:
What does grief look like during the pandemic?
How to manage emotions and external triggers?
What to say to someone who is bereaved and how to support them?
The course also features questions from our covid:aid Community on topics like guilt, grief and PTSD, and anticipatory grief.
Michael MacLennan, founder and CEO of covid:aid said, "We all experience grief and loss at some point in our lives. At the moment, it's hard to see a way out of the grief we may be feeling due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Thanks to the expertise of Andy Langford of Cruse Bereavement, this new micro-course helps by offering valuable insights, tips and advice on coping with grief and bereavement during the pandemic."
