The unique circumstances under which people die and grieve since March of 2020 are nearly universal, affecting virtually all individuals facing the death of a loved one. Dr. Niemeyer compares the impact of loss because of COVID-19, other natural causes, and violent death, and considers the role of meaning making in mediating the circumstantial risk factors that can complicate grief and impair functioning of survivors.
