Grieving in Corona Times: Possibilities, Limitations, and Opportunities to Prevent Complicated Bereavement in Survivors: Descriptive Research and Implementation.

The corona pandemic also has consequences for next of kin. The strict guidelines on ' social distancing ' and not being allowed to comfort physically make the farewell different from what people want, expect and are used to from culture, religion or tradition. This may mean that the farewell, rather than comforting, is traumatic, which can lead to 'complicated grief'. This applies not only to relatives of corona victims, but to all relatives who lost a loved one during the pandemic. Research Questionnaires and filmed interviews among a large group of relatives describe the consequences and the experience with solutions in the short, but certainly also the longer term. Expected results In addition to the research results, there will be a website (films, tips & experiences), a documentary and an e-learning module. Expected impact The project group (with regional, cultural and religious distribution) hopes to reduce the chance of complicated grief.
