ESTRELA, Fernanda Matheus et al. COPING WITH MOURNING FOR FAMILY LOSS DUE TO COVID-19: SHORT AND LONG-TERM STRATEGIES. []. , 25, 1, e2513.   26--2021. ISSN 0123-3122.  https://doi.org/10.5294/pebi.2021.25.1.3.

Objective:

To explore the strategies that can help individuals mourning a family member’s death from Covid-19 to cope with the loss.

Method:

We carried out a narrative review on the PubCovid-19 platform using the descriptors “death,” “mourning,” “Covid-19,” and “coping strategies.” Ten articles were included.

Results:

The strategies found are phone calls, audio recording, letters, and photos, classified as immediate and long-term. These strategies are focused on mental health, which can be adversely affected by depression and psychological disorders.

Conclusions:

Creating counseling programs for the relatives of those who died from Covid-19 is urgent. They must offer comprehensive, humanized, and continuous mental health care.
