A funeral director cautions those who think they are, and will remain, untouched by the coronavirus: Don't let 'days pass before you reach out to people that are in your extended family,' he says. 'Let us stay in touch.'
Bill Healy/WBEZSocial distancing and stay-at-home orders have essentially brought an end to large funerals and memorials where people can share their grief. A brief hug to comfort a mourner is potentially lethal.
"Grief is usually a very intimate and physical process that's done in groups," says Williams. And at the very moment people rely most on the traditions of their religious faith, or the healing of friends nearby, the room is largely empty."Now is a time where people actually need to have the discipline of keeping in regular contact," he says.
Many are now left on their own, just as everyone is expected to practice social isolation. They need to be on someone's radar. "The things we learned from our parents and grandparents are things that innocently enough are proving themselves to be so wise," says Williams."Every child that has been outside playing whose mother or grandmother says, 'Wash your hands before you come to the table,' can remember that voice."
