We know the pandemic has changed how we say "hello" — through masks, and at a six-foot distance — but we're beginning to learn more about how it has also changed the ways we say "goodbye."
Socially distancing means no visits in the hospital, no traditional funerals and no hugs outside your immediate bubble. The typical distractions of work and play now look like your home office, take-out and more time to think. When you go online, turn on the TV or radio, news of the pandemic is everywhere.
Host Arun Rath speaks with Doctor Shamaila Khan about how the pandemic has changed grieving. She's the director of the Center for Multicultural Mental Health and a clinical psychologist at Boston Medical Center. She organizes and runs bereavement groups for people who have lost someone to COVID-19.
