DESCRIPTION:  Our understandings were designed to address a wide variety of experiences, but the kind of global grief we are experiencing — and our inability to physically gather together in its midst — is truly unprecedented. Unlike during wars, when we can come together to weep and grieve, we must learn now how to care for one another at physical, but not social, distance from each other.
