Navigating Loss During A Pandemic

04/14/20 • -1 min

To lose a loved one during the coronavirus pandemic means having to say goodbye under circumstances most of us never would have imagined. We talk to a funeral director about how traditional services have changed, and a chaplain shares the challenges of being unable to comfort patients and families face-to-face. We also hear from a grief counselor, who explains that grief is not exclusively a response to death. Produced by Maggie Gelon. Guests: Jennifer Nelson Williams President, ARN Funeral & Cremation Services Paul Goodenough Chaplain, IU Health Methodist Hospital Alan Wolfelt Director, Center for Loss and Life Transition
