 “The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic is causing anxiety, worry and stress for Queenslanders and people across the globe”, Queensland Mental Health Commission, April 2020.
 During this coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, residential aged care homes are facing increased difficulties in managing procedures to reduce risk to residents and balance the need for social contact. This outbreak has also caused anxiety for staff, residents and their families who may feel unsupported, isolated, depressed or anxious.
 Because grief and the way we deal with the loss is individual and depends so much on so many different factors, families unable to have planned funerals and people unable to attend a farewell or a funeral will have many varied and different responses.
