Death and dying during COVID-19: The role of health care workers.

ABSTRACT

A correspondence to an article published in this journal showed that anticipatory grieving and loss during the Corona Virus Disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic ultimately affects the lives of the family of the bereaved. Advocacy of the health care workers to the patient and their loved ones is necessary. This is where the role of health care workers appears to be important as they, in a sense, serve as a bridge to the dying patient and the grieving family.
