Bereavement during the Covid-19 pandemic is associated with negative impacts on the physical and mental health of bereaved relatives and loved ones. It is predicted that the incidence of prolonged grief disorder (PGD) will rise. Reasons for this include (but are not exclusive to) limited contact with and opportunities to say goodbye to loved ones, sudden or traumatic deaths, limited end of life discussions with healthcare professionals, social isolation and loss of usual social support networks, financial insecurity and job losses. In Sheffield providers of care have informally reported seeing bereaved people "moving up the ladder of need" as their usual coping mechanisms are not available to them.
