COVID-19 Grief and Loss Support Forum
1 in 3 Americans lost a loved one to coronavirus this year too. We are faced with unimaginable loss but because this is “our new reality” many of us have not yet coped with the trauma of suddenly losing someone you love. Contemporary media is flooded with staggering death statistics, Coronavirus non-believers, and anti-mask/anti-vaccine rhetoric from everyone ranging from major news outlets to old family friends. Everywhere we go we are unable to escape being triggered, yet we are asked to resume life like it is “the new normal?” This isn’t normal… but your feelings are. We have to stop and remind ourselves that behind every statistic is a father, a lover, a grandmother, a friend. We aren’t just a number, and we deserve to heal.
 
This meeting is not professional counseling. If you would like professional counseling or mental health treatment please call the CAPS central office at (858) 534-3755 to arrange an appointment. For questions or accommodations please contact WOMEN@UCSD.EDU
