The GWI’s latest “Wellness in the Age of COVID-19” Q&A is with death experts and “dying well” activists Dr. Candi Cann, associate professor of religion, Baylor University, and Liz Eddy, CEO of Lantern, a public benefit corporation that provides a single source of guidance for navigating a death.
They discuss:
- How COVID-19 has exposed what is broken in our culture around grief and dying: from the gross limitations on bereavement leave to the mind-boggling lack of training around supporting end of life in our healthcare system.
- What practical actions people can take now to deal with all this new fear and grief—to get in a better place mentally.
- How digital is disrupting the death and funeral industry.
