Summary
We have all been affected by Covid in someway— from not connecting with friends and family to the loss of a loved one. In this episode, Gam talks with her dear friend Mona Harris about their shared experience of loss during a pandemic, how Covid has changed the way we mourn, and how to support each other during this difficult time.
If you or a loved one would like emotional support, reach out to the CDC Disaster Distress Helpline for assistance: 1-800-985-5990.
