CFYS Research Fellow Dr. Catherine Costigan on staying connected while grieving a loved one during COVID-19 restrictions
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the way people mark the passing on of loved ones, with attendance limits for funerals and travel restrictions. CFYS Research Fellow and registered psychologist Dr. Catherine Costigan says that it's important to honour the person, even without a traditional ceremony, and to connect with loved ones to avoid "isolation on top of isolation" during the pandemic.
