          Abstract

          Objective

          amidst the greatest health crisis in history triggered by COVID-19, this documental study was intended to understand the meanings individuals who have lost loved ones in this context assign to the phenomenon of suppressed funeral rituals.

          Method

          based on the theory of grief, the corpus of this study was composed of documents published in digital media containing personal writings and reports of experiences freely and easily available to the public. Two researchers with expertise in the field used inductive thematic analysis to interpret data.

          Results

          the experiences shared in the reports reflect the suffering experienced by the sudden death of a significant person, which is amplified by the absence or impediment to performing familial farewell rituals. The suppression or abbreviation of funeral rituals is a traumatic experience because family members are prevented from fulfilling their last homage to the loved one who has suddenly passed away, causing feelings of disbelief and indignation.

          Conclusion

          alternatives and new ways to celebrate passage rituals in emergencies of strong social commotion such as a pandemic are needed to provide support and comfort to family members, friends, and relatives. These rituals help survivors to overcome the critical moment, decreasing the risk of developing complicated grief.

          Objetivo

          en medio a la mayor crisis sanitaria de la historia, deflagrada por la pandemia de COVID-19, este estudio documental tuvo por objetivo comprender los sentidos atribuidos al fenómeno de la supresión de rituales fúnebres por personas que sufrieron pérdidas de seres queridos en ese contexto.

          Método

          amparado en la teoría del luto, fue constituido el corpus de investigación a partir de documentos publicados en los medios de comunicación digital, conteniendo escritos personales y relatos de experiencias abiertas al público. El análisis temático inductivo de los textos fue realizado por dos investigadores con pericia.

          Resultados

          la experiencia compartida en las declaraciones repercute el padecimiento por la muerte repentina de persona significativa, ampliado por la ausencia o truncamiento de rituales familiares de despedida después de la muerte. La supresión o abreviación de rituales fúnebres es vivida como una experiencia traumática, ya que los familiares se encuentran impedidos de cumplir las últimas homenajes al ser que se fue súbitamente, generando sentimientos de incredulidad e indignación.

          Conclusión

          es necesario crear alternativas y reinventar maneras de celebrar los rituales de pasaje en situaciones de emergencia de fuerte conmoción social como una pandemia, de modo a ofrecer amparo y confort a los familiares, amigos y parientes. Esto auxilia a los supervivientes a superar el momento crítico, reduciendo el riesgo de desarrollar un luto complicado.

Isso auxilia os sobreviventes a superarem o momento crítico, reduzindo o risco de desenvolvimento do luto complicado.

            Grief During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Considerations for Palliative Care Providers

            The COVID-19 pandemic is anticipated to continue spreading widely across the globe throughout 2020. To mitigate the devastating impact of COVID-19, social distancing and visitor restrictions in healthcare facilities have been widely implemented. Such policies and practices, along with the direct impact of the spread of COVID-19, complicate issues of grief that are relevant to medical providers. We describe the relationship of the COVID-19 pandemic to anticipatory grief, disenfranchised grief, and complicated grief for individuals, families, and their providers. Further, we provide discussion regarding countering this grief through communication, advance care planning, and self-care practices. We provide resources for healthcare providers, in addition to calling on palliative care providers to consider their own role as a resource to other specialties during this public health emergency.
