    We have to steel ourselves for burying our loved ones. We have to also steel ourselves for the possibility that we can't be there when our loved ones are buried.https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1240410497532518401 …

    My wife is a psychotherapist specializing in grief/death and dying issue but has a general practice. She just showed me discussion on one of her listserves w people in her work preparing to deal with cases where people are not allowed to visit or see loved ones before they die.

        The idea of suffocating to death in a crowded hospital where no one I care about is allowed to see me is especially unpleasant.

        The fact that people in Africa weren't willing to give this up during Ebola outbreaks, even at great personal risk to themselves, shows how imperative this is for people

        There are some examples where they have changed burial practices, but what it required was more than just a scientist telling them it will kill them. It required trust building with people. Here's an example described in the 5 minute clip starting here: https://youtu.be/sSjcVC3hd-Y?t=1546 ….

        I read a story earlier on where a New Jersey husband had to say goodbye to his dying wife through an iPad.

        I don't the shape of it yet but my Episcopal clergy colleagues -- as well as my Interfaith association of Sikhs, Jews, Hindus, Baha'is, and other Christians -- are working on ways we can be of support to anyone who might need us. Don't hesitate to reach out. Believer or not.

        And we have to find ways to manage the silent anticipatory grief that's already present.

        Is this absolutely necessary? His wife is a psychotherapist and if yours is not... is this necessary? Is this the best thing to focus on, to send out in the world right now? How the HELL is this not going to get people to flood every grocery store they can and panic?

        People are already panic buying. The truth is people don’t like to talk about death and medical choices but they need to, now. I care for my mom and also lost family members. Trust me, you don’t want to wait. Also tell people you love them every day.
