我们所看到的COVID-19的死亡率是不可想象的，专家预测这场大流行最终将夺去数十万人的生命。死亡人数已远远超过美国迈阿密或澳大利亚堪培拉等著名城市的人口总数。在每一个被列为统计数据的死亡背后，都有一个由家人和朋友组成的社交网络，他们将受到损失的深刻影响。通常的葬礼，仪式和习俗发生在死亡后，现在是新的受害者的病毒。毫无疑问，限制是必要的，以遏制蔓延;然而，人们担心这将如何阻碍“正常”的悲伤过程。毫无疑问，未来数年出现丧亲综合症的人数将激增，这与COVID-19有直接相关。
The death rate that we are seeing from COVID-19 is unimaginable, with experts predicting the pandemic will ultimately claim hundreds of thousands of lives. The death toll has already far exceeded the total population of renown cities such as Miami, USA or Canberra, Australia. Behind each death listed as a statistic, there is a social network of family and friends who will be profoundly impacted by the loss. The usual funerals, rituals and customs that occur after a death are now the new casualty of the virus. Indisputably, restrictions are necessary to curb the spread; however, concerns are raised regarding how this will impede on the 'normal' grieving process. Undoubtedly, there will be a surge in persons developing bereavement complexities in future years, with a direct correlated link to COVID-19.
