Earl, can you please start a grief group forum for people who lost loved ones to Covid?

The weight of it all..the loss ( granted, that everyone goes through) + blame of trump + blame of hospitals and nursing homes + loved one dying alone + loved ones not with them + no proper funeral. It's just a whole lot to bare.

Maybe if we could talk to each other it could help ease the pain?

it isn't specific to covid, but there is a bereavement group Kali Aug 2020 #2
This is an excellent idea and perhaps some of HCWs who've experienced so much death to COVID hlthe2b Aug 2020 #3
While there is the bereavement Group, perhaps a sub-group under that for Covid?? dixiegrrrrl Aug 2020 #4

and the helplessness that comes--especially with the families, might likewise find some comfort.

I can see the logic of a sub-group in that a lot of Covid information/experiences are of great importance now.

As I remember...someone let me know if this is outdated, pls.....
All we had to do to start a group is ask Admin. and show that say...10?..or more others were interested in having it.

Pls.count me in for it.

So sorry there even is a need for this.

Edited to add that if support for the request is needed, consider this an additional request for such a group.
