During this COVID-19 pandemic, our grief (our responses to the death) could feel more difficult because we might not have the normal opportunities to say goodbye, such as speaking to or visiting the person before they die or attending their funeral. The restrictions which are in place might mean you have little choice about how to say goodbye and this can sometimes cause additional feelings of sadness, anger, regret or guilt about not being with the person when they died or not having had the chance to say the things you would have liked to say to them.
