Published in July of this year, this US paper discusses the COVID-19 pandemic and the anticipatory grief, disenfranchised grief, and complicated grief experienced by individuals, families, and their providers. It looks at how to counter the grief through communication, advance care planning, and self-care practices. Resources for health care providers are provided along with a request to palliative care providers to consider their own role as a resource to other specialties during this public health emergency.
