This course will focus on ways to navigate experiences of grief and loss during the Coronavirus pandemic, specifically offering practical strategies and clinical insight for providing support. Informed by various theories of loss, this presentation will offer historical conceptualizations of loss, provide insight about ways to respond to grief, facilitate understanding about common grief responses, and recognize how these responses can impact psychological and physiological functioning. Topics such as traditional loss, ambiguous loss, anticipatory grief, and disenfranchised grief will be defined and applied to a greater understanding of the scope of COVID-19 and its impact on individuals and families. Through this presentation, the audience will be introduced to techniques and tips for self-care and suggestions for providing support for others in the face of the pandemic. The information stems from both empirical and practical knowledge of the impact of grief on micro, mezzo, and macro systemic levels.
