本研究采用定性方法，旨在研究由于COVID-19大流行而导致的克什米尔穆斯林死亡，死亡和哀悼性质的变化。对17名参与者进行了电话采访，他们的亲人在克什米尔爆发COVID-19后去世。研究结果显示，死者大多是在无人的情况下孤独地死去。哀悼损失也是一个很大的挑战，参与者得到的当面支持较少，因此导致孤立的哀悼。无法举行最后的仪式增加了另一层悲伤，导致丧亲之痛延长，影响了他们的整体福祉。
Using a qualitative approach, this study aimed to examine the changing nature of death, dying and mourning among Muslims of Kashmir due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Telephonic Interviews were conducted with 17 participants, whose loved ones died after the outbreak of the COVID-19 in Kashmir. The findings of the study revealed that the deceased mostly died in isolation with no one around. Mourning the loss was also highly challenging with participants receiving less in-person support thus leading to mourning in isolation. The inability to perform last rites added yet another layer of grief which resulted in prolonged grief among the bereaved and impacted their overall wellbeing.
