Some 660,000 people have died so far from Covid-19, according to official statistics. They have died alone, and their loved ones have mourned in isolation. Poor, rich, young, old, famous – the virus doesn’t discriminate. Even caretakers, doctors and nurses who were there to help have succumbed to the illness. France, Spain and other countries have held public memorials to honor the dead whose departure has been especially difficult for loved ones. Many have not had an opportunity to say goodbye. And thousands have been buried in mass graves. The coronavirus was unexpected and fast – changing our lives and the world. How do you grieve when bedside visits and funerals are banned?
