Currently many across the world are grieving without knowing it nor necessarily understanding what is happening with a new flow of emotions and swings between these.
We are in fact, starting to grieve for the way of life we have for so long enjoyed and for most of us – we are not even aware of this yet.
The cycle of grief can be applied here as each of us deal with drastic disruption, change and loss, whether this is a loved one becoming unwell, our financial circumstances significantly impacted , our freedoms restricted or removed in some cases or just feeling dazed and not wanting to believe the current state of the world, as we navigate an unknown enemy in Covid-19.
