Abstract
Description
In this group interview, Participants 82 and 83 talk about the loss of loved ones, changes in family dynamics, and separation from the rest of society. The COVID-19 pandemic has helped the participants re-align priorities and learn to let go of things that they don't have control over. The participants share that there is not enough recognition of essential personnel, such as grocery store employees. Participants acknowledge that the government was ill-prepared for a pandemic and share their surprise about the contradicting information circulating in the media.
